Book excerpt: How can Rose bring her dreams of a colorful garden full of red and yellow and blue flowers to life in a barren, gray city? Crazy old Birdman sits in his wheelchair all day, feeding seeds to the pigeons. He says pigeons are beautiful, but Rose thinks pigeons are dirty and gray, like the dirty, gray city. She dreams of gardens like the ones she sees in her library books, filled with blue lupines, red geraniums, and yellow sunflowers. So Birdman fills Rose's hands with seeds black as tar and slick as oil, seeds that he says are magic. Rose plants those seeds outside her window and waits. Soon, just as Birdman promised, a singing garden appears before her eyes—a flurry of red and yellow and blue, drawn to Rose's window by seed magic. Jane Buchanan's rhythmic prose and Charlotte Riley-Webb's vibrant and striking illustrations bring to life a story of community, connection, hope, and unexpected beauty.
