description: Batchelder Honor recipient Sonja Danowski has created a new story reminding us that love patience and a sense of humor help any garden to flower.What a fuss! Linns grandfather broke his leg. Fortunately his granddaughter Linn offers to take care of his spectacular garden. After all Linn has helped out in the garden many times and knows a lot about plants. With Linns dog Flori and her good friend Emi by her side what could go wrong? But when mischievous Flori causes a mess Linn has to learn to deal with a difficult situation. Taking responsibility for the first time is a big step. Together with Linn we experience pride in the trust placed in us as well as self-doubts along the way. Sonja Danowski's lovingly detailed illustrations appear almost lifelike and unfold with incomparable magic.
