Treehouse Shakers The Boy Who Grew FlowersBased on the Barefoot Books Picture Book By Jen WojtowiczPlay Adaption by Mara McEwinThe Boy Who Grew Flowers is a stunning visual performance for audiences for ages 5-10 and their families. Adapted from Barefoot Books bestselling picture book by Jen Wojtowicz, play adaption by Mara McEwin and choreographed by Emily Bunning, it is the story of a young boy, Rink Bowagon, who lives on top of Lonesome Mountain with his unusual family of rattlesnake tamers and shape-shifters.
