Vinnie and Velma's Paradise Garden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780973590272)

Vinnie and Velma stumble upon Pattie and Antonio's garden, landing in paradise: bird feeders and nut trees they can easily access. This means more time for play and less for searching for and storing food. Pattie and Antonio try unsuccessfully to stop them from eating the birds' food, but Vinnie proves to be too clever! Who will win this battle? Meanwhile, a hungry, orphaned young squirrel enters Vinnie and Velma's lush paradise garden, and selfish Vinnie faces a challenge that tests his heart. Guided by gentle Velma, he learns that true wealth isn't what you store, but what you share. Filled with humor, heart, and beautiful illustrations, Vinnie & Velma's Paradise Garden invites children to explore kindness, gratitude, and the care of nature. With Time Out for discussion questions, this Papa Story discusses empathy and generosity in daily life.
