Gut Garden: A Journey into the Wonderful World of Your Microbiome

A fantastic non-fiction book! Gut Garden is a journey into your microbiome, it explains the digestive process and explores the ecosystem that lives within us. Written and illustrated by Katie Brosnan, the book introduces proper terminology in child-friendly ways. It's visually stunning and exciting to look at as well as being so interesting and informative - I've learned lots! Each page has pictures that clearly show the process being spoken about, with text that is clear and easy to read. In the classroom, this book would make a great non-fiction read and particularly links to Science topics around human bodies. It's a useful tool as it makes quite complex, scientific terminology accessible for children. This would also be a great present for any budding biologists or to help get children interested in gut health. 44 pages / Ages 9+ / Reviewed by Lizi Backhouse, teacher
