A sweet fable dedicated to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy that celebrates the
spirit of community, the beauty of nature, and the power of faith and
imagination -- After traveling the world in her fantastic teapot, Rose
is ready to put down roots. She sets about planting flower seeds in a
neglected corner of a bustling city. And then she waits -- through rain
and cold and snow. Rose waits, never doubting that the garden she
envisions will one day come to be. With a simple narration and lovely,
fanciful illustrations, this luminous picture book resonates with
readers of all ages. Author-illustrator Peter H. Reynolds dedicates it
to the matriarch of the Kennedy family -- herself the namesake of the
Rose Kennedy Greenway, a series of gardens, plazas, and tree-lined
promenades.
