Author Biography
Marigold R Linaker
Marigold R Linaker was raised in a house where writing and reading were woven into everyday life. Her late father, a published author, spent countless hours at his desk, and Marigold R Linaker still recalls the pride and excitement when his finished books arrived in boxes. Her mother, a foster carer, opened their home to hundreds of children, each carrying unique stories, challenges, and dreams.
About The Book
Many Petals, One Garden is a gentle story about belonging, understanding, and shared space. Through simple moments and quiet interactions, the book invites children to notice feelings, respect differences, and move at their own pace. Set within a calm garden world, it offers reassurance rather than lessons, encouraging empathy, patience, and kindness through characters children can recognise, relate to, and return to.
