Description
In late summer, a young boy’s parents share the happy news that he’s going to be a big brother. As Mama’s belly grows and Papa builds a crib, the boy wonders what it will be like to share his favorite toys with his new sibling. Then one cold winter day, Mama and Papa return from the hospital with some devastating news–the baby is not coming anymore. This sudden loss leaves the boy and his parents feeling empty inside.
As spring begins, the grieving family starts a garden together to help their hearts heal. By seeing how some seeds take root and flourish and how some seeds never come to be, the boy grows in his understanding of his family’s experience and their resilient love.
Ours is a heartfelt story for families who have experienced unexpected loss and are healing and processing their grief together.
