Description
When Amina moves from the Caribbean to a new snowy home, she misses growing her favorite foods. There are no coconut trees to climb, no gardens full of sweet potatoes and callaloo?only ice and snow. As Amina looks out her frosted window, she sings a traditional children?s song from back home, adding her own twist: ?There?s a brown girl in the snow, tra la la la la, where none of her plants will grow.?..Determined to find a way to make her favorite plants grow in a new climate, she comes across a possible solution after discovering a library book about gardening and greenhouses. Perhaps there is a way to grow sweet potatoes, after all!
