Synopsis

A young boy cherishes his mornings with Baba, his grandmother, who speaks little English. Together, they bond over gardening, sharing meals, and walking to school. Baba's deep appreciation for food, shaped by her past hardships, teaches the boy to value every morsel. When Baba moves in with his family, the boy lovingly cares for her, mirroring the kindness she always showed him. This heartfelt tale, inspired by Jordan Scott's childhood, is beautifully illustrated by Sydney Smith.
