CLARA'S MAGIC GARDEN BY FLORIN AND SCOTT KOLBABA (c)

EXCERPT:

AS TEARS BEGAN TO WELL UP, THEIR TALK WAS INTERUPTED BY A BOOMING DEEP VOICE. IT WAS THE WALNUT, OLD AND WISE, TOWERING OVER EVERYTHING IN THE GARDEN.

"LITTLE BUSH, I HAVE LIVED LONG AND LEARNED MUCH. BE PATIENT AND SOMEDAY YOU WILL KNOW YOUR PURPOSE."

THOSE WERE THE LAST WORDS SPOKEN THAT DAY.

SUMMER CAME TO THE GARDEN, AND CLARA WALKED OUT ONE WARM EVENING TO SIT ON THE BRIDGE.

"LITTLE BUSH," SHE SAID, "I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. I DON'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS EITHER."

THE BUSH UNDERSTOOD HER FEELINGS AND WISHED IT COULD SHOW HER HOW SPECIAL SHE REALLY WAS. THEY HAD BECOME GOOD FRIENDS, AND LOVED EACH OTHER, AS MUCH AS A GIRL AND A BUSH COULD.

Let Clara's journey remind your little one that love and care can create the most extraordinary magic right in your backyard!
