The Map of Small Wonders
Ages 9-12 · Gentle Adventure · ~18 minutes
Elsie and Tariq find an old hand-drawn map of the station garden, marked with three green stars and the words Small wonders. With gardener Ms. Rosa, they follow the clues past a dry fountain, a bridge and an orchard to see what hurried visitors always miss.

How the story begins
The station garden had three entrances and no signs for the smallest paths.
Elsie knew the main gate, where trains arrived in a burst of wheels and announcements.
My new street is behind the bridge, but every shortcut I try ends at a fence.
We can explore after the garden club meets. Ms. Rosa knows these paths.
