Bookroo's summary
In a garden, a topiary named Little Green Girl dreams of adventure beyond the walls. Her gardener, Mr. Aster, clings to routine and fears the unknown. As she yearns to explore, Little Green Girl must inspire Mr. Aster to embrace change and discover that home can be carried in the heart. Will they find a way to journey together, or will their dreams remain rooted in place? This charming tale explores the beauty of stepping into the unknown and the bonds that can grow from shared dreams.
From the publisher
Mr. Aster, who likes routine, is happy to care for Little Green Girl when she arrives in his garden, but not interested in helping her see the world beyond its walls.
