"Joe and Mr. Penny had worked hard and created a beautiful garden at the back of the junkyard. It meant everything to them - a refuge from the dirty streets and dilapidated buildings around them in London, a home for their animals and a place of peace and friendship. Then, suddenly, their private world was threatened by what Mr. Penny called "progress". It seemed that everyone wanted to bulldoze the entire area in order to redevelop. The most insistent offer came from Mr. Massiter, who just couldn't see that the beautiful garden was worth preserving. Joe just had to do something. So he took his pet weasel and went to see Mr. Massiter and that was the beginning….A Small Piece of Paradise is a very special story about values and understanding and growing up. In a world oriented toward change, it points out again that people are more important than material things and that their hopes and dreams make the world a better place."
