A story about the special relationship between a child and his grandmother and the time they spend looking for worms for the garden. - Baker & Taylor
Celebrating the special bond between a boy and his grandmother, this beautiful picture book explores the sights, sounds and smells experienced by a child as he helps his Baba tend to her garden. 100,000 first printing. Simultaneous eBook. Illustrations. - Random House, Inc.
The bond between a child and his grandmother grows as they tend her garden together.
A young boy spends his mornings with his beloved Baba, his grandmother. She doesn't speak much English, but they connect through gestures, gardening, eating, and walking to school together. Marked by memories of wartime scarcity, Baba cherishes food, and the boy learns to do the same. Eventually, Baba needs to move in with the boy and his parents, and he has the chance to care for her as sheâs always cared for him.Â
Inspired by memories from poet Jordan Scottâs childhood, with beautiful, dreamlike illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith, My Babaâs Garden is a deeply personal story that evokes universal emotions. Like Scott and Smithâs previous collaboration I Talk Like a River, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, My Babaâs Garden lends wistful appreciation to cherished time with family.
