A NEW TALE

BIG ADVENTURES GROW IN SMALL PLACES.

A heartwarming story that gently reminds children that every experience helps shape them into their very best selves.

Tobi McCool’s story is inspired by the real animals and people who became part of his greenhouse world: Lester, with his knitted hats; Will, the hardworking senior; the daily hero postman; Rowdy, the busy white lab; a grumpy cat; and even a family of chipmunks tucked among garden pots.
