Buki's Garden

By Xiao Jing

A heartwarming picture book about celebrating differences, standing tall, and finding true friendship

Buki is a sweet, playful kitty with big round orange eyes, wild spiky hair, and fur that turns into a tangled mess of knots whenever it gets wet. She loves climbing ladders, chasing toy mice, playing dental floss like a guitar, and exploring her favorite place in the world: the garden. There's just one problem-Buki looks so different that the other animals think she must be a scary Gremlin When a bunny and a squirrel run away from her because of her looks, Buki feels sad and lonely. A wise old cardinal reminds her that there is a time for everything and that one day everyone will see who she truly is. That day comes sooner than expected when a mean, bully rat invades the garden and frightens all the animals. When Buki steps forward to talk to the rat, she accidentally knocks over a full watering can, turning into a wet, knotty monster of a sight Terrified by this unexpected creature, the bully rat runs away forever, making the garden safe once more.
