Award-winning writer Paul Fleischman dazzles us with this truth in <I>Seedfolks</I>--a slim novel that bursts with hope. Wasting not a single word, Fleischman unfolds a story of a blighted neighborhood transformed when a young girl plants a few lima beans in an abandoned lot. Slowly, one by one, neighbors are touched and stirred to action as they see tendrils poke through the dirt. Hispanics, Haitians, Koreans, young, and old begin to turn the littered lot into a garden for the whole community. A gift for hearts of all ages, this gentle, timeless story will delight anyone in need of a sprig of inspiration. 264459 1997 Seedfolks (Joanna Colter Books) total:1124|5:310|4:404|3:266|2:100|1:44| 1124 4208 1381 311 4 1 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 27 13:57:09 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 19:13:01 -0700 2007 I just re-read this after having read it in college, summer 2003.
