Wanda's Roses

Wanda's Roses by Brisson, Pat. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781563971365.

This book about a childs simple faith is one that children will long remember--and adults will love to share. When Wanda discovers a thornbush growing in the empty lot at the corner of Fillmore and Hudson, shes quite sure its a rosebush all ready to bloom. So she clears away the trash, checks on it every day, and brings water from the butcher shop across the street. But no roses appear. Wandas neighbors and friends are all doubtful, but when she invites them to a tea party in her "rose garden" one day in June, theyre in for a big surprise.
