Tistou the Green Thumb
Tistou Midori no Oyayubi
When eight-year-old Tistou keeps falling asleep in class, his father pulls him out of school to learn through real experience instead. The perfect place to start? The garden. There, working alongside the gardener Mr. Moustache, Tistou discovers an incredible ability: everything he touches blooms into beautiful plants. His green thumb is genuine—and magical. Next comes a harder lesson. Mr. Turnbull, the stern manager of Tistou's father's weapons factory, takes him into town to learn about order and how the world really works. What follows is an eye-opening tour: the prison, the slums, the hospital. At each stop, Tistou uses his gift to try making things better, transforming bleak places with his power to make things grow. But then comes the darkest lesson. When Tistou visits his father's factory, he learns the truth: they're manufacturing weapons for both sides of an ongoing war.
