Bookroo's summary
A young girl delves into her family tree, uncovering vibrant tales of her ancestors. As she reflects on their lives, she contemplates her own future, realizing the power of shared stories. Each revelation shapes her understanding of who she might become, weaving a tapestry of past and future. This journey of self-discovery highlights the importance of family history and the stories that connect generations. With evocative art, this narrative invites readers to ponder their own roots and the legacy they wish to create.
From the publisher
“A lyrical story about how looking back is helpful when you start looking forward. . . . “A young girl thoughtfully considers her family tree and the vibrant ancestors who populate it. As each family member’s story is revealed, her quiet meditation–about what kind of person she’ll be when she grows up–transforms into a testament to the importance of sharing family stories. The simple, elegant narrative combined with Sean Qualls’s evocative art makes for a wonderful read-aloud experience.
