The Seed That Waited is a poetic and powerful story about quiet resilience, emotional growth, and the light that lives inside us all. In a village that has forgotten how to ask questions, young Juno discovers a glowing seed hidden inside a forgotten book. As she nurtures it in secret, something begins to grow--not just in the soil, but in the hearts of those around her. With guidance from a mysterious old man named Brannock, Juno learns that even the smallest act of care can awaken hope in the darkest of times. This gentle, thought-provoking story is ideal for children ages 6 - 13, and perfect for families, educators, and caregivers seeking stories that inspire emotional strength, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. The Seed That Waited is the first book in the Stillbright Chronicles , a beautifully illustrated series where each child discovers and carries a unique fragment of Stillbright--quiet hope waiting to be restored. Written by Bumpa and his 10-year-old granddaughter Riley, this intergenerational collaboration encourages children to ask questions, nurture kindness, and believe in the light they hold inside.
