We popped them from their pods
And dropped them, bump and tumble, in the pot.
This original tale is told by a granddaughter (Enkelin, in German), looking back in loving memory at all that her German-American grandpa taught her.
Grandpa shows his precious Enkelin how to live well - and at the end of his life, he also shows her that death is not an end, but a new beginning.
Children will be fascinated by life on the farm, from caring for horses to working together in the garden. Famed storyteller Walt Wangerin will delight readers once again with carefully detailed, beautifully woven prose.
