A wonderful picture book from an award-winning publisher that explores identity, the patience of growing things and finding a home in a new place, the connection of scent to memory and loved ones, and the promise that beauty can happen even when things change
When Maya moves to a different country, she feels lonely and lost. Everything—and everyone—seems so unfamiliar here, and she wonders if she will ever find a way to fit in. Longing for her home, she holds tightly to the special seeds her grandmother gave her, afraid to plant them. Can she take the risk that they—and she—might grow and bloom in this new place?
