| Publisher Description: The world of this little boy is filled with ruins, debris, and devastation. One day he discovers a plant and tends it until it becomes a huge vine, but soldiers tear it down. In the springtime, little plants sprout up on the other side of the barbed-wire fence, where a little girl takes care of them. Now the vine grows strong and leafy; no one can tear it down. A Child's Garden is a song of hope, peace, and a future without conflicts. Because to believe in children is to have hope. |
