Bookroo's summary

A father and daughter plant seeds, nurturing a garden and their bond. As the garden flourishes, the daughter matures from toddler to woman, experiencing life's seasons. Will the garden's lessons guide her as she becomes a mother? Discover how nature's cycles mirror life's journey in this tender tale of growth and love.

From the publisher

Sunshine is for soaking up, and seeds are meant for sowing. Raindrops give small sprouts a drink, and gardens are for growing. In this tender poem, the love between a father and daughter blossoms alongside the seeds they plant together. As the garden grows, the daughter grows from a toddler to a teen and finally to a woman with a child of her own. The cottagecore illustrations beautifully connect the seasons of nature with the seasons of life, where new beginnings abound. Spring is meant for brand new starts, and hearts are meant for knowing. Homes are made to call you back where gardens are for growing.
