Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a major life transition, particularly a move from a familiar, green space to a dense, urban environment. It is the perfect balm for a child who feels small and overwhelmed by a world that seems gray, cold, or indifferent to their need for connection. Through the story of Mae and her move to a city without a garden, the book validates the deep sense of loss a child feels when leaving a beloved home. While the story addresses sadness and loneliness, it ultimately empowers children to take agency over their surroundings. Mae's journey from longing for her old garden to cultivating a tiny forest of her own demonstrates how creativity and patience can transform a new place into a home. It is a gentle, visually stunning guide for ages 3 to 7 on how to find beauty in the concrete and how to bloom exactly where you are planted.
