Great!This book packs a lot into so few pages. It'd be great for a classroom discussion about community, cultural differences, love and loneliness. This book spans so many potential topics it's hard to list them all. This book could also be used as a quick, fun read for middle/upper elementary through adulthood. The ending is a bit open, which could help spark creativity. Great book and I'll have to look into Fleischman's books.

Paul Fleischman's Seedfolks is a wonderful and moving book about taking chances, cultivating a community one person at a time, and transforming trash heaps into treasures. Written essentially as a middle grade novel for kids in the 10-and-up age range (I think it leans more toward the young adult genre, myself), the novel has a message that is equally captivating to adults as well. The Story In a vacant, debris-filled lot in downtown Cleveland, Kim, a nine-year-old Vietnamese girl, plants lima bean seeds in honor of her dead father. She hopes her efforts will somehow prove to him -- this man..

There comes a time when young readers begin to devour the books that capture their imagination and discard those that do not. The challenge for parents is to help the budding reader find those elusive books that they can lose themselves in. Books they will remember into adulthood. The books that turn them into lifetime readers. It s a critical time. If they don t find those books, will they forever look at reading as a chore rather than a joy? Since this is a concept so foreign to me as to be nearly incomprehensible, I try hard to find books for my ten-year-old son that will open the literary.
