This is a story about a little girl and her mother who have to move into a trailer by themselves. Her mother can't afford a babysitter and she needs to work, so the little girl Tiffany had to stay in the trailer all by herself for a couple hours a day. One day when Tiffany was taking out the trash, she discovered something that looked like seeds that were starting to grow. She moved them to the front and watched them grow. They grew into beautiful plants and flowers. Her garden was admired by all including the mail man. In the end it made her home lovely.
I wasn't really a fan of this book. I thought it was trying to cover too many topics for one book. The topics I thought it was covering were poverty, plants and single families. I think that this book could be considered controversial because it doesn't really portray a message that we want to teach our students of staying by themselves in a home for long periods of time.
