This book about transition and its effect on the family is also a story of hope and optimism.
Sidney lives with his mum in the city. He eats food that comes out of boxes and his mum puts on grey clothes and works is a ‘big grey building.’
You, almost, know where this is heading...
Then, all the grays are banished by the vivid imagery of the countryside and the bright pop of home-grown vegetables and fruits. Thanks to Sidney’s grandmother whom he visits during his summer holidays.
Sidney and his mum’s lives are turned around by this visit.
Excerpt
Sidney and his granny worked hard that summer, digging up vegetables and picking up fruit.
Every day Sidney tried something new to eat.
