Nina Laden

After stumbling across an area in her local Madagascar community devastated by drought, a young girl gets inspired. She gathers her friends and makes her case. They discuss, cooperate, and plan. Everyone has a different idea to contribute, but collaboration leads to the best idea of all : a garden ! What could be more perfect ? They get to work. But when things go terribly wrong, what can they do ? It takes a lot of courage, but with the support of her whole community on her side, this girl won't give up.
One way or another, she'll sow the seeds of change she's been dreaming of. With sweet, lush art from Sawyer Cloud, this lyrical picture book from Nina Laden teaches an invaluable lesson about investing in our community's future and having the patience to see that, in time, effort will blossom into a more peaceful, loving, and accepting world.
