Grow Big, Little Seed

By Bec Nanayakkara

In this tender, hopeful story, a small girl attempts to grow a seedling while her mother struggles with pregnancy loss. When Nina plants a pumpkin seed, she imagines herself and a little sister playing in the leaves of a large pumpkin plant. Nina's mum is pregnant and it seems that Nina's dreams may soon come true. But despite Nina's loving care, her seedling stops growing as her mother's pregnancy ends early. Nina is devastated and she refuses to plant another seed. When a year has gone by, Nina finds the courage to try again. This time, Nina's seed grows even bigger than she had dreamed, and her mother is pregnant again. Soon, Nina plays in a large pumpkin patch with not one little sister, but two.
