As the main character in this tender story settles into a new home, she learns about sisterhood and neighborliness, watching the passing seasons reflected in ginkgo trees, lilacs, green onions, earthworms, snow, and sidewalk chalk. (Miller Library Staff) "Paj Ntaub, a young Hmong American girl, spends a busy year with her family in their new home, and seeks a way to share the beauty of the world with a grieving neighbor." -- A watermelon growing big and round. A yellow leaf fallen from a tree. A handful of glittering snow. The first worm of spring. As the seasons change, so too does a young girl's world. She moves into a new home with her family and encounters both birth and death. As this curious girl explores life inside her house and beyond, she collects bits of the world. But who are her treasures for? Kao Kalia Yang's picture book debut tells the heartfelt story of a young Hmong girl seeking beauty and connection in a busy world, lushly illustrated by Seo Kim. --
