That evening she is visited by a boy who brings a chair with him - a chair to sit on and learn. All the school children brought a chair for each refugee child.

In an environment of war and poverty, a home is turned into rubble. “Then, one day, soldiers came and destroyed everything.” But a boy sees hope in a small green shoot growing towards the sun and gently encourages the plant to grow, creating a garden of hope. “The new garden became home once more to birds and butterflies. Let the soldiers return, though the boy. Roots are deep and seeds spread.” A great picture book to promote conflict, courage, harmony and integrity. #childrenslibrarylady #kids
