灰撲撲的城市裡只有鋼筋水泥，陽光被擁擠的建築物遮蔽，人們也忘了微笑。帶著一袋種子，第一次到城市找舅舅的小恩，決定來點變化！

　　憑著小園丁不怕辛苦的精神，小恩開始種花。當一朵朵花兒綻放，笑容也開始在人們臉上閃耀。最棒的是，舅舅那總是皺著眉頭的表情也融化了。

　　本書作者莎拉和繪者大衛是對默契十足的夫妻檔。莎拉平日除了寫作，最喜歡的就是種花，所以她能將小恩愛花的心情寫得那麼生動。而大衛活潑的畫風，更為故事拓展出開闊的空間，讓孩子們進入書中世界，在小恩的秘密花園裡漫遊。

The Gardener is a 1997 New York Times Book Review Notable Children’s Book of the Year and a 1998 Caldecott Honor Book. From the author-and-illustrator team of the bestselling The Library.Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city, where she goes to stay with her Uncle Jim, a cantankerous baker. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers’ faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece -- an ambitious rooftop garden -- which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile. Sarah Stewart introduces readers to an engaging and determined young heroine, whose story is told through letters written home, while David Small’s illustrations beautifully evoke the Depression-era setting.
