Get ready for a whimsical adventure in Tomato Plant Girl! In a summer somewhere that time forgot, Little Girl has just moved to Heretown from Thereville, and doesn’t have any friends outside of the neighbor who drags her over to play from across the vegetable garden. Every evening at 5 o’clock SHARP, Little Girl’s neighbor makes the rules for their playtime – rules that must be followed without question. That is until Little Girl meets the extraordinary Tomato Plant Girl!
Dressed upside down and munching on dirt, Tomato Plant Girl introduces Little Girl to a world of topsy-turvy fun and teaches her to embrace her own rules. Together, they embark on a journey of nurturing, growth, and self-acceptance, proving that true friendship knows no bounds.
