The Garden & The Prophet — A Story of Khalil Gibran

A girl with a blank page. A grandmother with a garden. And a boy from the mountain who had something inside him that wanted to get out.

Sarah has a tablet, a folder of things she started and never showed anyone, and a small voice that says it won’t be good enough. This summer, in her grandmother’s neglected garden, there are weeds to pull, steps to clear and a story to hear.

It begins in 1883, in the village of Bsharri, with a boy who draws on everything. It follows Khalil Gibran across the sea to Boston and New York, through loss, exile and one stubborn line written on a scrap of paper, until it becomes The Prophet, one of the most loved books of the twentieth century.

A story of exile and belonging, of being looked at and being heard, and of why what we make matters.

For readers from nine to ninety. No illustrations. Just the story, set with care.
