When bad news breaks on TV, a worried girl determines to help but soon realizes she can't change the situation. Here, Reul's art takes on a gloomy tone. But when the girl realizes that she can perform small acts of caring, the illustrations brighten. Finally, she spurs her parents to join her in taking action: planting and nurturing flowers for the whole neighborhood, tangible symbols of hope.
