(3) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Jupiter's aunt adopted a child from Ethiopia, but when Aunt Amy receives a cancer diagnosis, Edom, seven, is sent to live with Jupiter's family of wandering folk-music buskers. The family--with Edom and sans Jupiter's absentee dad--finally settles down in Portland, Oregon, where they garden and forage. Themes of familial bonds and belonging pervade this bighearted story about a unique family.
