- Geno hums to a flower. Zizi says, “I’ll try too!”
- Musical notes travel through the glowing garden. Their teacher says, “You made a traveling song!”
- Zizi draws in her Echo Garden journal. “We can keep the picture.” Geno adds, “And remember the song.” Their teacher offers a paper garden stamp.
- As the class heads back to the gateway, Geno calls, “Goodbye, garden!” A flower echoes, “Goodbye!” Zizi says, “Next trip, let’s bring a joke.” Closing words: More worlds. More wonders.
MORE WORLDS. MORE WONDERS.
