It’s springtime at Around The World Elementary in New York City and five 5th grade girls from around the world meet in Carla’s after school art class and form THE GIRL AROUND THE WORLD CLUB. An empty diary found in the supply closet becomes their Club Diary where they can write and draw their urban adventures. When their school decides to build a rooftop garden to help the environment, Carla’s students are on decoration duty for the fundraising event. It’s decided that the girls will paint a mural based on the national flower of their country, and the boys will make Garden Gnomes from recycled plastic bottles. But when disaster strikes and a huge rainstorm ruins the mural, the boys and girls must find a way to work together to make a new one. Day by day, in their own colorful words and pictures, 5 girls from around the world share their discovery of the strength that lies in diversity and that the power of unity, kindness, and a little hard work can change the world…one rooftop garden at a time.
