(4) K-3 Before leaving to receive treatment for a serious (unnamed) illness, Uncle George, a gardener, teaches his nephew his craft. When he returns home to die, the nephew is able to cheer him with a bouquet of garden-grown blossoms. A compassionate, if calculated, text and occasionally stiff acrylic paintings present a difficult subject with uneven results.
