“a child’s garden” is one of the most beautiful – and most political – children’s picture books Ive read in a while. By Michael Foreman, it is a seemingly simple story of a little boy who finds a seedling. He waters it. The seedling grows into a garden filled with birds and butterflies. The catch? The garden covers a barbed wire fence, a fence dividing two people on one land. And … I think that is all that I will share of this powerful little tale. I look forward to tracking down more of the author/illustrator’s work.
