The Curious Garden - Children's Book

13 years ago

I was looking for a book for a niece of mine... and whenever I look in the children's book section I end up coming back with more books for me than whoever I'm buying for. :) :)

Anyway, I found this beautiful little book and I highly recommend it. It's about a boy who finds a wild tiny bit of garden on top of a raised railroad track in a dingy city and then he expands it and then people start helping him... it's very charming and the illustrations are gorgeous.

Buy it for yourself or for a child. :) :)
