FROM SARAH:  I was just blown away by this beautiful picture book. With earthy, stunning illustrations, you'll be taken through the changes, reflected seasonally, that a young girl experiences during a difficult move, and her subsequent budding friendship with her elderly neighbor. This one might make you cry!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

When Katherena and her mother move to a small town, Katherena feels lonely and out of place. But when she meets an elderly woman artist who lives next door, named Agnes—her world starts to change.

Katherena and Agnes share the same passions for arts and crafts, birds, and nature. But as the seasons change, can Katherna navigate the failing health of her new friend?

Award-winning author and artist Julie Flett’s textured images of birds, flowers, art, and landscapes bring vibrancy and warmth to this powerful story, which highlights the fulfillment of intergenerational relationships, shared passions, and spending time outdoors with the ones we love.
