About
"A stunning picture book about persistence, being creative in the garden, and adapting to a new place. When Amina moves from the Caribbean to a new snowy home, she misses growing her favourite foods. There are no coconut trees to climb, no gardens full of sweet potatoes and callaloo -- only ice and snow. As Amina looks out her frosted window, she sings a traditional children's song from back home, adding her own twist: "There's a brown girl in the snow, tra la la la la, where none of her plants will grow." Determined to find a way to make her favourite plants grow in a new climate, she comes across a possible solution after discovering a library book about gardening and greenhouses. Perhaps there is a way to grow sweet potatoes, after all! This stunning picture book written by a Guyanese-born author features an introduction to gardening and greenhouses and a note from the author about the inspiration behind the story. With gorgeous images by Marianne Ferrer, and moving text by Yolanda T. Marshall, Brown Girl in the Snow is inspired by a traditional Caribbean children's song and captures a child's unwavering persistence and passion, as she grows into her new home"--
