Max thinks school is boring, and his uncle Billas idea of livening things up doesnat sound too exciting either. He gives Max a big bag of seeds for his birthday. At first Max is skeptical, but he follows his uncleas instructions and scatters the seeds on his way to school. From that moment on, unusual things begin to happen, and the changes are simply magical. Wildflowers begin to grow throughout the city, where theyave never been before. Suddenly Max becomes the most popular kid in school as his class gets to pick the flowers, draw them, and study them. This "was" the best gift, after all. Here is a lovely story about how small actions can make a big difference in your own life, and the life of an entire community.
