Bookroo's summary
In a quiet town, while others sleep, Paul tirelessly tends to his garden. His efforts yield vibrant blooms, but disaster strikes when the water runs dry and the sun scorches his plants. Despair looms until Paul's animal friends rally to his aid, bringing hope and a touch of rain. Will their combined efforts save the garden? This gentle tale of perseverance and friendship unfolds with vivid illustrations, capturing the essence of resilience and community support.
From the publisher
A farmer’s hard work is rewarded in this eco-friendly and elegantly illustrated picture book.
In the town, everyone is sleeping. But not Paul. Paul mows. Paul rakes. Paul sows. Paul draws water. And soon Paul has beautiful plants and flowers growing all around him. But one day, the water dries up. The sun beats down. Paul despairs. But thanks to his animal friends, and a bit of rain, help is on the way . . .
