Book Description
Who knew planting a garden with your grandfather would teach you lessons of love and life. This story is a gentle reflection on the appreciation of the wisdom and values that a beloved grandfather imparts to his young granddaughter through their shared cultivation of a garden. The young granddaughter recalls her grandfather's patient tending of abundant vegetables and lush flowers, especially a prized rose bush. She recalls his generosity in sharing the gifts of his garden with others, and an incident in which he responds to her accidental destruction of the rose bush with kindness rather than anger. What can you grow out of your garden?

Book Description
Grandfather?s Garden. Whether or not we ever had a grandfather or a grandmother with a garden, merely to say it calls to mind so much of delight, and yearning, and wonder. That old timey, comforting sense of security. The smell of fresh earth turned. The excitement of the discovery of the magic of flowers, vegetables, and indeed all growing things when one is very young. Or in-between. Or knowing for sure what love is by then, when one is very old.In this book we meet what at the favored level increasing thousands aspire to one might call a prototypical family of Father, Mother, and Four Children. And of course Grandfather. Once he was known as the world?s most brilliant plant scientist. Now most people?including Father and Mother?think he?s ?quite cuckoo.? But Rachel, Gwendoln, Timothy, and Rawlson know better.Off they run to live with Grandfather and listen to his stories. Night after night they revel in the adventures of the Mifwump, the Carrot Who Wanted to be a Speed Boat Racer, Babbage the Cabbage, Thudglinka, the Tumbling Tumbleweeds, and Phyllis the Talking Pillbox.And every day they work with Grandfather in the fields of all the super vegetables that, because everybody thinks he?s ?cuckoo,? he?s growing in secret to feed the world. Every day they get to thump and test carrots as big as themselves, eggplants as big as elephants, corn even twice ?as high as an elephant?s eye,? so that maybe someday nobody will ever again have to go to bed hungry.But then it happens. Father and Mother find where they?re hiding. Will they have to go home again? What will happen to Grandfather? And all the super vegetables? And all the people in the world who can?t get enough to eat?Fifth book for the Entertainment and Humor Cycle by David Loye

The Hidden Gifts of Dyslexia, Difference and Death

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Can your difficulties become stepping-stones to a successful future? Can a young boy overcome a serious reading difficulty and achieve beyond all expectations? For a few gruelling years in a Catholic boys’ school, where the Brothers carry a lash under their gowns ready to strike any boy who offends their strict code, Tim struggles with maths and English, and keeps mostly to himself. But he has an observant inner life, with hours spent wandering in the cemetery his grandfather tends, learning about death the leveller and the falsity of social class and wealth. Tim has pitch perfect hearing and a voice like an angel, and is marked out by the Principal Brother to become a priest. Not him! Suffering the tragedy of losing the only three close friends he makes over the years, he experiences living with dyslexia as a cross to bear, until he finds the key to a fearless destiny as a paramedic, trauma and emergency nurse, and academic. The gift of dyslexia has taught Tim to say, “Don’t reach for the sky—hell! Go for the stars. You really can do anything you want.” Wisdom, he says, is found in the strangest places. Among these pages you will experience what Tim learnt within his grandfather’s garden, a strange place to find wisdom—among the head stones and monuments, and where, he says, you can find yesterday’s people.

There was a story that Mama read to Jiro: Once, in old Japan, a young woodcutter lived alone in a little cottage. One winter day he found a crane struggling in a snare and set it free.

Much like the crane, the legend comes to life—and, suddenly, Jiro finds himself in a world woven between dream and reality. Which is which?
