From the New York Times bestselling author of Be Kind comes an uplifting classroom tale about students who create a vegetable garden on their school's rooftop.

Millie has recently moved to a new city, from a place more than an ocean away. More than anything she misses the garden where her family used to grow food. Then one day she has an idea—the school has a fine flat roof, perfect for a garden.

Soon her teacher and classmates are on board, but it takes more than ideas to build a garden. It takes supplies and hard work; it takes a lot of learning; and it takes a whole school—a whole community—coming together to help. And of course, it also takes

a lot of waiting. But as Millie's teacher Miss Mirales says, “Be patient. Good things take time.”

From building the beds and planting the seeds to the first glorious harvest, here's the story of a garden—and a girl—in bloom, and what it takes for a new place to finally feel like home.

《纽约时报》畅销书《与人为善》的作者讲述了一个振奋人心的课堂故事：学生们在他们学校的屋顶上创建了一个菜园。

米莉最近漂洋过海，搬到了一个新城市。她最怀念的是她家以前种植食物的花园。然后有一天，她有了一个想法——学校有一个很好的平屋顶，非常适合建一个花园。很快，她的老师和同学们都加入了进来，但是建造一个花园不仅仅需要想法。它需要物资和辛勤的工作，需要大量的学习，还需要整个学校、整个社区一起来帮忙。当然，这也需要大量的等待。但正如米莉的老师米拉莱斯小姐所说，“要有耐心，好事多磨。”

从建造花坛、播种到**次丰收，这里讲述了一个花园和女孩的故事，以及让一个新地方有家的感觉所需要的东西。
