Summary
Lively full-color pictures of modern city life help tell the story of Wanda as she nurtures a bare thornbush in an empty lot in the hope that it will produce roses.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
This book about a child's simple faith is one that children will long remember--and adults will love to share.
When Wanda discovers a thornbush growing in the empty lot at the corner of Fillmore and Hudson, she's quite sure it's a rosebush all ready to bloom. So she clears away the trash, checks on it every day, and brings water from the butcher shop across the street. But no roses appear. Wanda's neighbors and friends are all doubtful, but when she invites them to a tea party in her "rose garden" one day in June, they're in for a big surprise.
