About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate your child's inner world or encourage them to see the extraordinary potential in their everyday urban environment. It is a perfect choice for the young artist who is always clutching a marker, or the child who tends to daydream and weave complex backstories for the people they pass on the street. Through the eyes of a young girl named Bidemmi, we explore a series of vignettes centered around the simple beauty of cherries. As she draws, she tells stories of sharing fruit with neighbors and planting seeds for the future. This book beautifully models how creativity can be a tool for empathy and community building. It is best suited for children ages 4 to 8, offering a gentle, rhythmic reading experience that honors the dignity of childhood imagination without needing a high-stakes plot.
