About This Book
Amidst the broken buildings and guarded fences, a young boy finds a small green sprout that brightens his world and reminds him of joyful days with his father in the hills. This tender symbol of life and hope grows in a place shadowed by hardship and conflict. His simple garden becomes a powerful beacon of resilience and dreams for a better future.
