Paulson Reads 19.9K subscribers Subscribe 1.7K 319K views 4 years ago A boy named Liam discovers a patch of plants in an otherwise plant less city. Day by day and season by season, Peter watches as his garden begins to curiously explore itself out of its boundaries. Peter begins to tend the garden, awkwardly at first but the plants are forgiving. One day he is out in the colorless, drab city and he follows an old staircase up to some forgotten train tracks and finds the beginnings of a garden. In this curious picture book it all begins with a little boy named Liam who loves to splash in the rain. "On the west side of Manhattan there is an old, elevated railway called the Highline" that is now "shut down and forgotten." But, "without people and trains getting in the way, nature was free to redecorate." So, if nature can "thrive in the unlikeliest of places" then Peter Brown wondered "what would happen if an entire city decided to truly cooperate with nature? How would that city change? How would it all begin?"
