When Flowers Bloom and Sparrows Sing

By John Weier

Tante Madeline knew life on the vast Canadian prairie had its hardships. When the work became too much, though, she grew tired of the chores, tired of the hot and cold and maybe even tired of living with Uncle Henri and young Cousin Jakey. Then she dreamed about flowers -- luscious riots of them in every size and color, sweet and rich as her memories, and beautiful as the constant music of the song sparrow -- and she devised a bold plan that soon became talk of the village. By turns touching and humorous, When Flowers Bloom and Sparrows Sing embraces struggle, hope and happiness.
