'Wanda's Roses'
2001
Overview
One morning in May on the way to school, Wanda noticed a bush growing in the empty corner lot at Fillmore and Hudson streets. It must have been growing for a while because it was about two feet tall, and Wanda was surprised she hadn't noticed it before. But there it was -- bare and thorny -- and Wanda, who loved beautiful things, felt her heart beat faster. Then one day in June, Wanda had an idea. Looking at the bare, thorny bush, she said, \"If my rosebush won't give roses to me, I'll just have to give roses to my rosebush.\" And when she saw Mrs. [Turner], Mr. [Claudel], Mrs. [Giamoni], Ms. [Jones] and Mr. [Sanchez], she gave each of them an invitation that said: \"Please come for tea and muffins in Wanda's Rose Garden Saturday morning at 9.\" The next morning at nine, everyone was surprised to see Wanda's rosebush covered with roses -- paper roses that Wanda had made herself and carefully tied to each bare, thorny branch.
