This summer, I discovered Paul Fleischman's Seedfolks and had a renewed sense of pride. Our little neighborhood isn't fancy, but it has heart. And although Seedfolks is set far-away in inner-city Chicago, the stories in this book capture the stories of neighborhoods (just like mine) across America. Immigrants and long-timers; young and old; garden-savvy and beginners; we all have a place here. |
