Specification

Alexander’s grandmother, Nonna, grows a glorious garden, but struggles to find time to play until Alexander decides to grow seeds of his own.

“Before your seeds can grow upwards,” Nonna says, “the roots need to grow downwards.” And Alexander learns that building relationships and nurturing seeds into saplings both take love, patience and time.
