Her mother and sisters can find comfort in memories of his face and the way he used to work the land when he was a farmer back in Vietnam. She's 9 years old, and she yearns to have some kind of connection to her dead father. The story explores what happens when a little girl decides to plant a few lima bean seeds in a rundown vacant lot filled with garbage and vermin. Now that spring is in the air, the next selection for NPR's Backseat Book Club is a small book with a big message: Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman. Our next book could well be called it takes a garden. Most of us have heard the phrase "it takes a village" to refer to the idea that many hands from many places are usually needed to get things done. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
