A Packet of Seeds

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bethanne Andersen. After giving birth, a newly transplanted pioneer mother suffers from depression in her isolated prairie cabin. Her older daughter senses what she needs and works to clear a place to plant the flower seeds they brought with them. Evocative art illustrates this somber tale, the loose paint strokes and scratchy lines conveying the family members' various emotions.
