Inspired by the true story of a community garden in Brooklyn, New
York, this picture book, The Bear's Garden, by writer Marcie Colleen
and illustrator Alison Oliver, is a testament to how imagination and
dedication can transform communities and create beauty for everyone in
unexpected places.
A little girl sees an empty lot in a city and imagines what it can be.
She sees
a place to grow,
a place to play,
and a place to love.
With the help of her stuffed bear, the girl brings her community
together to create a beautiful garden.
