When Farah Patel realizes that the butterflies have disappeared from her
neighborhood, she discovers that it's likely because there aren't enough
flowers to attract them. She can't help but think, "This isn't right."
Luckily enough, Grove Hills is looking for ideas on what to do with the
empty lot next door. And Farah has the perfect one--make it into a
community garden to bring back a little green to their block! But when
Farah finds out that she isn't the only one with a plan for the future
of Grove Hills, she'll have to turn to her community for help.
Open the six envelopes inside to follow along with the story Farah as
she rises up and brings her neighborhood together.
