Noah's Garden: When Someone You Love Is in the Hospital

A hospital courtyard garden -- and a vivid imagination -- are a haven for a young boy as he waits for his baby sister to be well enough to join him.

Noah and his family are living in The Children's Hospital because his new sister, Jessica, was born with a serious medical condition. Normal family life is suspended indefinitely for Noah, but in the true spirit of childhood, he spends his days in the hospital garden, creating an imaginary world, longing for the day when Jess can join him.
