When Maya moves to a different country, she feels lonely and lost. Everything—and everyone—seems so unfamiliar here, and she wonders if she will ever find a way to fit in. Longing for her home, she holds tightly to the special seeds her grandmother gave her, afraid to plant them. Can she take the risk that they—and she—might grow and bloom in this new place?
