The Curious Garden by Peter Brown

Brown, Peter. The Curious Garden. New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2009. 32p.  

As Liam curiously explores his dreary, treeless city, he is surprised to find a small patch of garden growing above the city on abandoned railroad tracks. He begins to care for this garden, inspiring other people to care for it too as it spreads throughout the city. 

This book, based on the author's observations of a garden growing over Manhattan, shows how one person can inspire many. The story, and the powerful Author's Note at its conclusion, will spark important discussions on how children can make significant changes in their communities.
