Overview

"Grandpa says circles are all around us. He points to the rainbow that rises high in the sky after a thundercloud has come. ""Can you see? That's only half of the circle. That rest of it is down below, in the earth."" He and his granddaughter meditate on gardens and seeds, on circles seen and unseen, inside and outside us, on where our bodies come from and where they return to. They share and create family traditions in this stunning audio adaptation of the Pura Belpre award-winning exploration of the cycles of life and nature."
