I definitely think this book will give inspiration to children to be the difference that they want to see in the world. Title: The Curious Garden Author: Peter Brown Illustrator: Peter Brown Publisher: Little, Brown, 2009 ISBN: 9780316015479 Audience: 4-8 years Summary: There was once a city without gardens or trees or greenery, a dull and dreary city where everyone stayed inside. However, Liam was just one person and he changed the entire town. Usually people don't try and make a difference because they think just one person can't make a difference. It also shows students that it starts with one difference. I think that shows children that they can do anything they set their mind to regardless of their age because Liam was just a young boy. I really like how Liam inspired everyone in the town to start their own gardens which turned a town with no greenery into a green town. This time, the railway wasn't the only place with greenery the town was filled with greenery thanks to the inspiration of Liam's first garden. when spring came, all the plants were nearly dead, but Liam was able to nurse them back to good health and eventually the whole railway was consumed with greenery again. Instead of worrying about the plants until spring, Liam bettered his gardening skills. When winter came, the railway was filled with snow, so Liam could not tend to the plants he had to wait until spring. Liam then began to take care of the plants and the whole railway began to fill up with more greenery. One day he discovered a stairwell that led up to the tracks of a railway, so Liam ran up the stairs to get on the railway. Liam lived in a city without any greenery, but he loved to go outside.
