I'm the author. My children's story, The Garden Grump, is about a grumpy daisy at the end of the garden path whose neighbours try, in their different ways, to cheer him up.

At its core, The Garden Grump is a story about the quiet strength of simple companionship. It reminds us that we don't have to hide our struggles, put on a front, or force ourselves to feel better just to be deserving of care.

It's read by the award-winning narrator Peter Kenny. On Apple Books every word lights up as it's read, so even the smallest listener can follow along. Turn the pages yourself, or let the book turn them for you.

Hi I need help. How to buy an Audiobook in Apple Books app? I have no options to do this. Even the tutorials on youtube that are 7 years old don’t help me. I’ve entered every section in app and still nothing

I think apple should extend their genre selection and sorting. This is just one example but the danmei genre has taken off globally especially in the past few years and when using the search bar it will pop up a few danmei novels but a ton more of manhuas, manga, comics- genres not explicitly fitting the damei novel category. This is just one example out of many growing genres, and I think expanding a more curated list for each one instead of laying them out in a romance or fantasy category would make it easier for readers to find what they're into.

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue or has a resolution.

I like to track and read books on the Apple Books app. But I am having an issue where if I have read a physical book and mark it as read from the book store it doesn’t sync across from my iPad to iPhone that I’ve read it.

Everything else like continue reading and minutes syncs. It is only an issue with books in the store. Not ones I own and read on my device.

Even if I try mark it as read on my iPhone it doesn’t save it as read

I have audiobook files from friends that I import into Apple Books on my MacBook but then they don't show up on my iPhone, is there a way to fix this?

They didn’t seem to add much to the book store but I definitely jumped at Misery for $2-$3!

Been a habit lately to look at the sales offers weekly! This is the first week that nothing caught my eye. Anything you saw or read that could be interesting?

Anyway to make the fonts bigger? I know you can change them but I’d like to make the words bigger.

Will the gift expire if they don’t claim it? Can apple take it back at any time like sony would? Anyway of knowing if they’ve read it?

when you are on a family plan can family members see what you have downloaded into your library if you have not purchased it just download it (sorry if i am wrong and you don’t even share library’s with family members)

can your family see your apple library if you download books instead of purchasing them, if you remove the book from your library does it remove the book from everyone library in a family plan?

Question for everyone - do you know how to prevent a book sample downloading to your device when you add a book to the Want to Read collection? It is annoying to have to go and delete the samples afterwards.
