The Little Gardener

"The charming, immeasurably sweet tale calls to mind what Van Gogh wrote to his brother: “Whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done!”"

"This beautifully illustrated book tells the magical tale of a tiny boy who loves his garden more than anything. It provides him with joy, shelter and food; it is his entire world. Sadly, it becomes too much for him to handle alone — and he risks losing it all. Emily Hughes’ spare prose allows her gorgeous artwork to tell the story of the gardener and the single flower that brings him inspiration and hope. Layered with meaning, this is a book worth lingering over and cherishing. (For ages 3 to 7)"
