"This book is about a boy named Gregory who likes to paint. One day he finds a burned building in his new backyard which used to be a chalk factory. Gregory cleans it up and finds some chalk. After learning about lettuce and seeds at school, Gregory uses his chalk to draw a garden on the walls of the burned building. I loved how cool Gregory’s garden looked and how Uncle Max took his posters down."
