這是一個(gè)有關(guān)改變的故事，Mae從鄉(xiāng)下搬到城市，但她非常想念自己的garden，想念在草地上追蝴蝶的時(shí)光…她在地上畫(huà)草叢、在家里的箱子上畫(huà)花園…最后她在公園遇到一只小鳥(niǎo)，追隨小鳥(niǎo)到了一個(gè)Florette 的綠植店，等了很久沒(méi)有開(kāi)門(mén)，但她在縫隙處發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)綠枝，帶了回去，小心的種植，后來(lái)又帶領(lǐng)著小伙伴們一起在高墻之間用花盆種植物，finally，實(shí)現(xiàn)了garden的夢(mèng)想！水彩的畫(huà)面非常的精致漂亮，故事很觸動(dòng)我的心，不到3歲的小妞一開(kāi)始看一片樹(shù)葉一點(diǎn)興趣都沒(méi)有，但我引導(dǎo)她發(fā)現(xiàn)樹(shù)叢中的小動(dòng)物，一下子就著迷了，Mae收集小“寶貝”的經(jīng)歷和小妞一樣，她很快就沉浸在故事之中，并且和我講想要一個(gè)garden，我告訴她“春天到了，我們一起來(lái)種花吧！”
Mae is lonely after her family moves from the countryside into the city, and she misses growing things: “There was no room among the crowded buildings for apple trees and daffodils.” Soon Mae and her mother find a park—and then they stumble on a magnificent florist’s window dense with lush, tropical greenery. (“Florette” is the name of the store; readers may expect it to take a more central role, but Mae and her mother never return.) A small plant Mae finds nearby provides her with the start of a garden of her own—a garden that grows, and that draws, little by little, many new friends. Walker’s carefully drafted watercolors capture the charm of Parisian streets (her biography attributes the story’s inspiration to a Paris vacation). Stately, classic facades tower over the doll-like figures of Mae and the other children. On one level, it’s a story that reminds readers that getting used to new places takes time. But it’s the artwork that commands attention, and the way the florist’s window offers Mae inspiration for the garden she creates.
