synopsis: The couple places the notes inside a box and buries it in the backyard garden. After a thunderstorm, which seemingly affects only their property, a ten-year-old arrives at their home claiming the Greens as his parents. After finding the box they buried smashed to pieces around a large hole in the ground where they originally buried it, and finding the boy inside their house, covered in mud, they realize that the boy, named Timothy, is actually a culmination of all their wishes of what their child would be. The Greens also discover that Timothy has a startling feature: he has leaves growing on his legs.
Timothy begins to attend school, where he meets Joni Jerome (
Odeya Rush), a girl he meets during a bullying incident, with whom he begins to have a mutual relationship. Meanwhile, the town's pencil factory, the largest employer in Stanleyville, begins laying off its employees. Timothy convinces Cindy and Jim to design a prototype for a new pencil in an effort to keep the pencil-producing business viable.
Unbeknownst to the parents, one of Timothy's leaves falls off each time he fulfills one of the qualities listed on the original slips of paper. Timothy eventually reveals to Cindy and Jim that his time of existence is short and that he will eventually disapear.
my opinion: Its very inspirational and teaches a lot about life. Its cute to see that even know timothy is different he still makes friends and family to help. this movie teaches a lot about how to take what life gives you in a positive way and that no one is perfect and have there own weaknesses. It was a great movie for my family and it taught a lot to us but was fun to watch at the same time.
