An A-maize-ing Story

by Alisha Berger

While Bongie’s family is planting maize in the field, she plants a seed of her own. Bongie takes care of the seed everyday – watering it, making sure it has sunlight, protecting from birds and weeds, and even reading to it. Do you think the seed will grow for Bongie?

A charming tale of a child who treats a single corn sprout like a dear friend, blending tenderness and clever problem-solving into one growing season.
