About This Book
Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city, where
she goes to stay with her Uncle Jim, a cantankerous baker. There she initiates a
gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to
customers' faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that
Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece -- an ambitious rooftop garden -- which she
hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile. Sarah Stewart introduces readers to an
engaging and determined young heroine, whose story is told through letters
written home, while David Small's illustrations beautifully evoke the
Depression-era setting.
