This book is beautiful. The images glow with a unique light and design that makes you feel like your in a dream. The text reads like a long poem, and is written in poem form too. It is a story about hope, family and discovering the sacred in the mundane. It is also, like so many of the stories I love, based on a true story. In the book, a mother's son steals her precious seed, a token of her past, and plants it. The mother is sorrowful until she sees the beautiful flowers that grow in the seeds staid. This book highlights the truth that just as a seed must die for it to bring forth much fruit, so we must die to the past, and the things we hold so dear, to embrace the future.
