It shows how people catch on to a good thing. I love the wholly positive feel of the book. I love the pages without words too.My 4 year old loved it, and asked all the right questions, and my 2 year old really likes it too, at his level.It's a beautifully written and beautifully illustrated book that tots enjoy at their level, with us on hand to answer their ponderings.For sure one to get. It may well be that book that they wish to read to their young.

My class of 4 - 7 year olds loved this story and it inspired writing, art, imaginative play and some planting and growing.

Fantastic book about how one person can change the world. As a Grade 1 teacher I read this to my new class every year as it has a strong, positive message that no matter your age with care, passion and determination you can create wonderful things.

Great for any age (past chewing on books ) with vivid interesting illustrations and a proactive, imaginitive protagonist

I recommend Peter Brown! And this book is beautiful!

Beautiful book, beautiful story and illustrations, with a nice message children understand from the beginning... like the others Peter Brown wrote.

色がきれい。

英語の勉強(訳す)の為に買いました。英語がしゃべれない私にも訳しながら楽しむ事が出来ました。緑が多くて癒されます。今のエコの時代には持って来いの話かな？お子さんに読んであげたり、学校で使うにもいいかもしれません。小さな男の子が皆を巻き込んでいく・・・。素直な気持ちだから出来たのかな？

Wonderful

I saw this book in the bookstore but didn't buy it there and then. When I went back they didn't have it anymore, so I was very excited to find it here!I love it! The story is lovely, the illustrations are captivating and I think Peter Brown is a fantastic writer/illustrator.I read it to my nephews and they loved it too, they took it home to read to their mom. It's the story of Liam, a little boy who finds a garden in the old train tracks and brings it back to life. He even sings to the plants! I thought that was cute!Update: I got this book again to send it to a nephew for his birthday! that's how much we love it!

... alle anderen sollten den Highlinepark in New York besuchen. Traumhaft.Schön illustriertes Buch, sehr nette Geschichte. Ideal für Kinder die Ihr Englisch trainieren wollen oder Erwachsene, die ein bischen Kind bleiben möchten. Außerdem ein Appell auch an die Umwelt zu denken.
