What to expect
She collects thrown-away produce to feed her animals or make compost for the garden.
She waters, weeds, and shows the neighborhood kids how to care for her plants: with love, patience, and pride.
Come harvest time, Granny gathers her fresh produce and cooks up a delicious feast for her friends and family. She even sends them off with extra bags of goodies so people can make their own yummy, healthy meals at home!
Debut author/illustrator Tang Wei creates a love letter to an indomitable grandma of the city, inspired by her own childhood and a beloved relative. Using a fun, rhythmic text reminiscent of Chinese folk nursery rhymes, Wei shows how one person can create a beautiful
green space in the heart of the concrete jungle and bring together an entire community.
