Shy Alfred wants to befriend the girl whose yard is filled with other kids and flowers but he doesn't know how.

Shy Alfred wants to befriend the girl whose yard is filled with other kids and flowers but he doesn't know how.

When Alfred sees Lulu's magical yard filled

with flowers and friends, he's sure that if he can cultivate a beautiful

garden, friends will flock to join him. Alfred tries but

nothing grows in his brown patch of dirt. Determined to make one last attempt,

Alfred heads to the store to buy fresh flower seeds. As he hurries home,

he sneezes-and the seeds fly everywhere! And this time they begin to grow

wherever they land-in his pockets, in his hair, even in his ears! A very discouraged Alfred gets stuck in the mud.

But the aroma of warm blueberry

muffins coming from a nearby bakery reminds him of Lulu's favorite treat and, tucking the flowers under

his hat, he heads there. Alfred shares muffins with Lulu and finds

out that he doesn't need a garden; time spent together is the best way to

make a friend.

This charming friendship story is sensitive

and delightful with just a touch of whimsy.
