About the book:
The Beardless Gnome follows the story of a decorative gnome who sits on a store shelf alone while all the other gnomes leave with customers. Since he has no beard, people think he looks strange. When a little girl finally purchases him, he begins an exciting journey visiting fun and distant places. On his travels with the caring girl, he sees other gnomes sitting in store windows. The lessons of waiting for the right time and being patient gently demonstrate to readers that good rewards come in
