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.
