When the Great Garden’s Harvest Festival gets underway, everyone has a job to do - except Rowan, who sits quietly at the edge of it all with an old, cracked lantern resting beside him.When young Sunny Sweetcorn asks him the one question nobody else thought to ask - why do we even have this festival? - Rowan’s lantern begins to glow, and Sunny is shown glimpses of harvests stretching back further than she can count: golden fields, generations of gratitude, and a quiet Cornish vicar named Robert Hawker who, in 1843, gave an ancient tradition a new name and a new home - Harvest Festival.Rootwise Rowan and the Harvest Festival Lantern is a real-history picture book wrapped in gentle magic - part of The Root Kingdom, a universe of fruit and vegetable characters whose stories are rooted in true food and folk history. This Harvest Special follows Rowan, the Great Garden’s own quiet, wise mentor, as he helps a curious young sproutling discover that traditions aren’t just repeated - they’re remembered, on purpose, by people who choose to pass them on.Along the way, young readers meet a mischievous rook with an eye on the prize marrow, feel the warmth of a community that shares what it grows, and learn the real, dated history behind one of Britain’s best-loved autumn traditions - without it ever feeling like a lesson.Perfect for: - Bedtime reading and classroom read-alouds - Curious children aged 5-8 who ask 'why do we do that?' - Families who love a good tradition, and grown-ups who’ve forgotten where theirs began - Anyone who believes real history can be as magical as any fairy taleEvery root has a story. This is Rowan’s.#GrowCurious
