Clavis Publishing, September 6, 2022 ISBN 9781605377117

A soothing book about loved ones and the quiet power of meditation in nature. For children ages 5 years and up.

Masato’s garden is unlike any other garden Johnny has ever seen. There are no pretty flowers and no vegetables either. It’s a garden of big rocks, tiny pebbles, and a spout of trickling water. Masato invites Johnny to sit there with him and take a moment to think about his sick grandfather.
