K-Gr 2-When Glenna is given marigold seeds at school, she leaves them in a neighbour's empty flowerpot. Miss Rose brings home a few geranium plants, sees the packet of seeds, and decides to give the geraniums away to other neighbours. This chain of kindness and caring travels back and forth among the folks of various races, ages, and talents who live on the same block. The tidy, realistic illustrations are full of clean, rich colours; readers take a tour of seven nicely kept row houses, and then to the front doors of the inhabitants as the day's happenings progress. This is a quiet, tender story that does not hit readers on the head with a moral directive, but lets its message bloom naturally.-Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
