Round the Garden

By Omri Glasir and Omri Glaser

This imaginative tale, written by eight-year-old Omri Glaser, is inspired by the cyclic movement of water through the earth and atmosphere. It is the tale of a tear that forms a puddle that creates a cloud that makes the rain fall that waters the garden that causes the vegetables to grow.

Round the Garden

This book is a delight for readers of all ages. It's hard to believe that a 9-year-old can have such insight into the way the world works. Omri is a literary genius and I hope to read more from him in the near future. The illustrations are great, too!

This book is pleasing - aesthetically and intellectually!

I feel this book is fabulous in the way it traces the journey of a water drop throughout its cyclical life. Being a Naturalist whose task it is to educate young people about the water cycle, this book takes such a complex thing and makes it seem simple - which it is! How wonderful it is to say (and see) this book was written by a child for other children.
