Fables from the Garden Book

Come into the garden and hear a story! Children will delight in this charming collection of fables featuring plants and animals often seen in Hawai'i gardens. A lone orchid finds friendship among roses; a kind albatross teaches a young frog about the joy of discovery; two greedy mynahs learn about sharing; a lazy blue ginger flower is encouraged to blossom. As a good fable should, each of these wondrous tales offers a valuable lesson at the end---but it's one that goes down with a smile. Here are ten stories that will entertain and guide young and old.
