Description
This charming story celebrates the beauty in differences. A young girl wishes for a garden full of bright flowers, but her mother shows her that their unusual vegetables have their own value.
As the harvest season arrives, everyone is surprised by the delicious and aromatic soup made from these 'ugly' Chinese vegetables. The neighborhood comes together to share not only the soup, but also the beauty of their gardens, each with its unique charm.
The book features playful illustrations and a guide to the Chinese pronunciation of the featured vegetables, along with a recipe for the tasty soup. A heartwarming tale that teaches us to appreciate the beauty in unexpected places.
