La historia de un jardinero paisajista y su hijo
Table of Contents
About The Book
Hoy es el gran día: ¡la primera vez que su papá lleva a Juanito a ayudarlo en su trabajo de contratista de jardinería! A lo largo del día, Juanito dibuja todo lo que le llama la atención: un nido lleno de pajaritos, un vivero con hilera tras hilera de plantas y flores, y muchas cosas más. Papá e hijo van de casa en casa podando, quitando maleza, cortando pasto y convirtiendo a patios descuidados y caóticos en lugares hermosos.
Algunos de los clientes no aprecian los esfuerzos de papi, como el compañero de clase de Juanito, quien pretende no reconocerlo. Pero papi siempre se siente orgulloso de haber lanzado su propio negocio y de la calidad de su trabajo. Al final del día, quizás Juanito también tenga la oportunidad de utilizar sus tendencias artísticas para diseñar jardines, igual que su papi.
