Growing an Artist: The Story of a Landscaper and His Son

Description

Follow along with the story of a young boy, Juanito, who joins his papi on the job as a landscape architect. Juanito brings his sketchbook to draw anything that catches his eye: a nest of birds, a plant nursery, flowers, and more. Juanito realizes that while not everyone appreciates Papi’s hard work, Papi always feels pride in owning his own business and in a job well done. And at the end of the day, Juanito may get the chance to turn his artistic eye toward landscape design—just like his papi.
