When Wanda discovers a thornbush growing in an empty lot, she\'s quite sure it\'s a rosebush ready to bloom.
Pat Brisson\'s warm-hearted story and Maryann Cocca-Leffler\'s vibrant illustrations make this book about a child\'s simple faith one that children will long remember..
Wanda\'s neighbors and friends are all doubtful, but when she invites them to a tea party in her "rose garden" one day in June, they\'re in for a big surprise.
But no Roses appear.
So she clears away the trash, checks on it every day, and brings water from the butcher shop across the street.
