The Pink Jeep
When Little Wendy is hit by a bright pink jeep, everything changes.
With a broken leg and weeks of rest ahead, Wendy is suddenly stuck inside. She can’t visit her fig tree, her secret rainforest, or tend to the plants she loves on the verandah. The world that once helped her feel calm, curious, and free now feels frustratingly out of reach.
But healing doesn’t only happen on the outside.
As Wendy recovers, her dad notices how much she misses her plants. Together, they find a way to bring the garden closer. With handmade shelves, pots placed just within reach, and time to observe rather than rush, Wendy discovers that caring for living things can still be part of her days — even when her body needs to slow down.
The Pink Jeep is a gentle, hopeful story about injury, patience, and adaptation. It shows how therapeutic horticulture can support emotional wellbeing, resilience, and a sense of purpose during times of limitation. Through Wendy’s experience, children learn that while circumstances may change, connection, creativity, and growth can still continue.
This book is ideal for:
Children navigating injury, illness, or recovery
Families and educators exploring resilience and adaptation
Readers who love nature-based stories with heart
A tender reminder that sometimes, growth happens when we are forced to stop — and that gardens, like children, can thrive when given care, understanding, and time.
