Joy Takes Root

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Gwendolyn Wallace

Illustrated by: Ashleigh Corrin

It's Joy's first summer in her grandmother's South Carolina garden - a rite of passage. In the midst of okra, spinach, and strawberries, Grammy teaches Joy that plants are friends with many uses. Herbs, for example, can be turned into medicine. There in Grammy's abundant backyard, Joy learns to listen for the heartbeat of the earth and connect it to her own as she takes deep breaths and puts her intentions into the soil. By the story's end, she learns to grow seeds in her own garden, honouring all that her grandmother taught her. See more
