Description

Green grass is wide and fresh and clean for a family to play in, and brown dirt is perfect for digging a garden. But when gray buildings start to rise up and a whole city builds, can there be any room for green space The neighborhood children think so, and they inspire the community to join together and build a garden for everyone to share in the middle of the city.
