The Curious Garden
In this animated video, Liam lives in a city that is dark and grey. While exploring one day, Liam discovers a stairwell that leads to old railroad tracks. Among the tracks is a patch of dying wildflowers. Liam decides to take care of the garden. He learns to water and prune the plants. As the garden starts to spread, the city is transformed into a colourful and green world. This video is an adaptation of the picture book written and illustrated by Peter Brown.
A teacher's guide is available.
