A sweet fable dedicated to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy that celebrates the spirit of community, the beauty of nature, and the power of faith and imagination. A sweet fable dedicated to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy that celebrates the spirit of community, the beauty of nature, and the power of faith and imagination – After traveling the world in her fantastic teapot, Rose is ready to put down roots. She sets about planting flower seeds in a neglected corner of a bustling city. And then she waits – through rain and cold and snow. Rose waits, never doubting that the garden she envisions will one day come to be. With a simple narration and lovely, fanciful illustrations, this luminous picture book resonates with readers of all ages. Author-illustrator Peter H. Reynolds dedicates it to the matriarch of the Kennedy family – herself the namesake of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a series of gardens, plazas, and tree-lined promenades.

Reviews
A meaningful story with a reminder of the power of faith, patience, and the goodness of others to help you realize a dream that's different, but more beautiful, than you imagined. The illustrations are black and white until the gifts of flowers, until a full-blown garden in color happily covers the end pages of the book.
