SeedFolk.
I think that Seedfolk was a very interesting book. It was very cool to see how all of these characters from different backgrounds were tied together through this simple garden. It brought a whole community together, and this community was so diverse and so different from each other that it was amazing that something so simple could bring them together. And also once it brought them together it seemed that many of them were sort of embarrassed that they were not friends before this. There are many things with diversity, culture, and community that my students could learn from this book. Even though it is sort of a complex read it is all a very short and easy read. I feel like the fact that it is an easy read helps with the underlying complexitiy of the story and that my students could learn from this book very easily. I am totally putting it in my list of books to introduce to children in my future classroom.
