Reach for this book when your child feels frustrated by the slow pace of growing up or expresses sadness about being the smallest in the group. It is the perfect remedy for the child who is impatient to reach the next milestone, whether that is a taller height or a new skill. The story follows Ellie, a young girl who feels tiny and incapable, as her mother helps her plant an avocado pit. As the seasons turn and years pass, the book beautifully parallels the quiet, invisible work of growth in both the plant and the child. It normalizes the feeling that nothing is happening, while reassuring children that deep down, they are changing every day. Parents will appreciate the muted, calming illustrations and the gentle way it handles the concept of time. It is an ideal bedtime read for children ages 4 to 8 who need a reminder that big things come from small beginnings.
