The Curious Garden (2009)
by Peter Brown

A young boy living in a dreary city happens upon a small bit of earth and decides to take care of it.  As the boy’s garden grows and thrives under his care, the rest of the city begins to join in, creating unique gardens of their own.

While so many “environmental” books end up leaving the reader feeling overwhelmed or even a bit discouraged, this enchanting and subtle picture book leaves the reader feeling irresistibly optimistic.  By doing something he’s drawn to do, young Liam inspires change that is wide-reaching and quite beautiful.
