Ruby and her family live in a storybook house where she dreams of planting a magical garden filled with vegetables of different shapes and sizes. One odd little seed grows round and orange, quite different from the other vegetables. Ruby cares for all her garden, but the little orange ball stands out. Her tender kindness and acceptance show the other vegetables that gentle love can create a garden of friendship, as we treat others as we wish to be treated. Our differences are an opportunity to celebrate, accept, respect and learn from one another.
