A gift to express appreciation and thankfulness for teachers, volunteers, donors, caregivers, friends or for those who love plants and flowers. The gesture of something special is one of protection and caring for something precious... our children, our earth, our natural resources. I see it as a hopeful piece about possibilities about every child, doing his or her share. The rock is etched with words and images. The puzzle pieces allude to how we are all inextricably linked together theyre also symbols of children with autism.
'special' can mean many thingsthe special responsibility to care for our planetand to nurture ALL our children to care for their future. 'something' can be interpreted on many levels.
