Klappentext
A beautiful picture book celebration of friendship, resilience in the face of change, and the magic of the natural world.

When Mae's family moves to a new home, she wishes she could bring her garden with her. She'll miss the apple trees, the daffodils, and chasing butterflies in the wavy grass.

But there's no room for a garden in the city. Or is there?

Mae's story, gorgeously illustrated in watercolor, is a good match for kids interested in the environment, as well as any child going through a move.
