Here are a few quotes from the book:

“Knowledge is powerful. Knowledge reduces fear. Knowledge leads to greater understanding which can also lead to a more compassionate human race.”

“Fertilize your child through communication and different experiences so they can gain the nutrient richness of the soil.”

“While waiting for that garden to grow, you still need to be diligent. You must continue watering and weeding and ensuring that the plants are protected from harm.”

Synopsis of the book: The world needs more compassion and where else to start, than with raising compassionate children.  This book includes twelve steps of “growing” compassionate children, a Grower’s Guide. It follows the steps needed to grow a healthy plant, starting with preparing the soil, where a plant can be deeply rooted in solid healthy ground, like a child growing within a strong foundation made up of positive values and principles. There are stories and topics addressing the impacts of societal issues such as the use of social media, anger, mental health, and violence to focusing on acts of kindness and making this world a better place for all. The topics are diverse and include math and science concepts as they apply to plants and growing compassionate children.  It talks about the importance of knowing, understanding, and preserving our roots, where this knowledge and increased understanding leads to a more compassionate child.
