And sharing brings sweet berries for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight-year-old Lily tends a garden that blazes like a rainbow. She shares her crayons, helps classmates, and tells the truth even when it is hard. Butterflies sleep on her petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen-year-old Ethan is different. He has quick feet and a temper that sparks faster than he can catch it. When anger takes over on the playground, a sharp, thorny plant appears in his plot - and his heart feels hollow. With the gentle guidance of Ms. Flora and the wise storytelling of Mr. Greenleaf, Ethan discovers something powerful: choices can be changed. Through deep breaths, honest apologies, and small acts of kindness, new green shoots push up beside the thorns - and one morning, where only brown existed, a pale blossom opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Garden of Good Choices is a beautifully told story that helps children understand the real-world impact of their everyday decisions.
