Joseph's Yard

By Charles Keeping

Book Overview

In this engrossing story, a rose blooms in the in the barren yard of bricks, concrete, and rusty iron where Joseph lives. At first he kills it by picking it, then by covering it up. Seasons come and go and the rose always returns, until Joseph learns to share its beauty with others -- insects, birds, and cats -- and the yard becomes a beautiful garden.
