Reviews"This fine debut is a heartwarming story about a special bond a young Native American girl shares with her grandfather... Youngsters who have lost a loved one or who share a special relationship with an older adult will relate to this touching story, which clearly shows what healthy grieving is like." -- Booklist "What sets Boyden's work apart is her depiction of contemporary Native American culture, with Rosalie's family living in a small-town community. Their everyday life and loss connect them to universal experiences of growth and death that cross cultures. Cordova's paintings have static quality that reinforces the reflective tone of the text... the book would be suitable for one-on-one sharing with children who are mourning a grandparent or other relative." -- School Library Journal "A gentle story of family ties, loss and dreams." -- Kirkus Reviews, "This fine debut is a heartwarming story about a special bond a young Native American girl shares with her grandfather....

SynopsisA modern-day Native American girl learns to understand the cycle of life after her grandfather dies., A modern-day Native American girl learns to understand the cycle of life after her grandfather dies. Every spring Rosalie and her grandfather (Papa) sow tiny seeds that blossom into bright vistas of flowers and vegetables. A red rosebush that is planted under Rosalie's bedroom window when she is born, is later joined by pink and yellow ones "to make a sunset." When Rosalie asks for a blue bush to represent the sky, Papa explains that roses do not come in blue. The winter after Papa dies, Rosalie's blue roses come to her in a dream, symbolizing love, memory, and transcendence. With gentle words and magical images, this contemporary Native American story tenderly embraces the natural cycle of life.
