From the New York Times bestselling author of Be Kind comes an
uplifting classroom tale about students who create a vegetable garden on
their school's rooftop.
Millie has recently moved to a new city, from a place more than an ocean
away. More than anything she misses the garden where her family used to
grow food. Then one day she has an idea--the school has a fine flat
roof, perfect for a garden. Soon her teacher and classmates are on
board, but it takes more than ideas to build a garden. It takes supplies
and hard work; it takes a lot of learning; and it takes a whole
school--a whole community--coming together to help. And of course, it
also takes a lot of waiting. But as Millie's teacher Miss Mirales says,
"Be patient. Good things take time."
From building the beds and planting the seeds to the first glorious
harvest, here's the story of a garden--and a girl--in bloom, and what it
takes for a new place to finally feel like home.
