The poet — the heart of the garden
Sasha
Finds the right words for every feeling.
Special gift: Turning feelings into poetry.
Inspired by: Alexander Pushkin
Sasha is the gentle heart of the garden. He notices the small, beautiful things other people walk past — the colour of the sky at bedtime, the shape of a single falling leaf, the way a puddle holds the whole world upside down.
When he's happy, Sasha speaks in little rhymes. When he's puzzled or sad, the rhymes slip away — and the tender moment is watching him find them again. He carries a small notebook and a feather quill everywhere, ready to catch a thought before it floats off.
Sasha is the friend children discover the garden alongside. His wondering usually opens each story, and his quiet closing rhyme sends everyone gently into the evening.
“The sky is pink, the clouds are white — I think the sun just said goodnight.”
— Sasha says
