For all those that don't fit the standard!

This book gives a voice to all those adults and children who don't follow the norm, who see possibilites in everything. Arabelle can't bake a cake or sing or write poetry, but when her father suggests she grow flowers, she accepts the challenge. Unable to kill the weeds, snails, moles and beetles that come to her garden, she chooses to see success in another light. A wonderful book for all those children and adults who measure success by a different yardstick than those who think an expansive green lawn is the epitome of success!
