Sign in for personalised guidanceA small, everyday story about learning to grow vegetables with a parent, then leaving a home and finding that the new one has no garden.
The mother says her own mother taught her to plant and that she is now teaching the child. The child grows tomatoes and spinach and takes tomatoes to their mother.
The family leaves its home in Congo, and the child no longer has a garden in South Africa. The story does not explain the move or dwell on how the child feels about it.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
