My dear little  sister gifted me a children’s book today.  As she handed it over with a smile and a twinkle in her eye, she said “You may see as you read that there is some deeper meaning”.  For those of you that know what our family is going through (moving), this will make sense; so here is an excerpt from a lovely little Scholastic book called Sunflower House by Eve Bunting.

There’s still the puffy middle part

that’s filled with seeds, enough to start

another sunflower house next spring,

with walls, a roof, and everything.

It’s neat to think when something’s gone

a part of it goes on and on.

It’s such a super-duper plan!

We pick out all the seeds we can.

Thank you author Eve Bunting, and thank you to my sister for finding this treasure of a book!!
