Description
A beautiful picture book celebration of friendship, resilience in the face of change, and the magic of the natural world.
When Mae's family moves to a new home, she wishes she could bring her garden with her. She'll miss the apple trees, the daffodils, and chasing butterflies in the wavy grass.
But there's no room for a garden in the city. Or is there?
Mae's story, gorgeously illustrated in watercolor, is a good match for kids interested in the environment, as well as any child going through a move.

"This quietly told and beautifully illustrated story will resonate with other children who have been uprooted, but hope to flourish in a new home." - Booklist
"A worthy addition to the canon of books depicting young gardeners transforming spaces and lives." - School Library Journal
"Walker's carefully drafted watercolors capture the charm of Parisian streets." - Publishers Weekly
