The Little Gardener by Emily Hughes is a heartwarming tale about hope, persistence, and inspiration.
It tells the story of a boy no bigger than a thumb who loves his garden. For him, the garden is his home, food, and joy. But he is small and not very good at gardening. Despite working hard, most of his garden begins to wither — except for one beautiful flower.
That single flower gives him hope and inspires him to keep trying. One night, feeling hopeless, he wishes for help. Though no one hears his tiny voice, a girl notices the flower. Inspired by its beauty, she begins caring for the garden.
While the little gardener sleeps, the girl’s kindness transforms the garden into a place full of life and color. When he wakes, he finds his once dying garden now blooming — proof that even the smallest effort can inspire great change.
