No one gave any of these people anything. They each did it themselves – and in some cases for each other. This really isn’t about a common enterprise or team building. Its about finding some meaning and purpose in one’s life and about recognizing the similar interests of others that extend beyond the superficial or external differences. This little book is probably more effective than any DEI training manual, administrator or government mandate I can think of. As a matter of fact, most businesses and governments would be much more effective at their efforts in this regard and with greater positive results if they substituted this little book and maybe their own community garden for whatever DEI manuals and training sessions they now have. I am a 77 year old semi retired lawyer who happens to live in Cleveland and I read this book because it was assigned to my 11 year old granddaughter in her Chicago public school. (as an aside, no, you cannot see Canada across Lake Erie from Cleveland. and although the winters are not as severe as portrayed in my opinion, yes we often have snow in April. ) I am not a teacher but it seems to me this book would be appropriate for middle school children to read (could be a bit challenging for some but that’s ok). It could probably be read to younger children, but would certainly require some explanation. Some might also want to edit out perhaps the story about the assault victim. Thank you Mr. Fleischman. Well Done. Review: Growing Community Through Seedfolks - Seedfolks was an excellent first novel for my fifth graders. Its structure, with each chapter told from a different character’s perspective, helped us study text structure and point of view in a clear way. Students saw how diverse voices were connected through the community garden. The story led to thoughtful discussions about prejudice, kindness, and empathy. Students reflected on how small actions, like planting seeds or reaching out to a neighbor, can build stronger communities. This novel supported our reading standards while inspiring meaningful conversations about character and hope. I highly recommend it for upper elementary readers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #20,178 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Teen & Young Adult Multigenerational Family Fiction #12 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Values & Virtues (Books) #58 in Teen & Young Adult Friendship Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,367) | | Dimensions | 6.8 x 4.18 x 0.31 inches | | Edition | 29966th | | Grade level | 3 - 6 | | ISBN-10 | 0064472078 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0064472074 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Young Adult Literature: Klett English Editions | | Print length | 70 pages | | Publication date | March 24, 1999 | | Publisher | HarperTrophy | | Reading age | 13 years and up | ## Images ![Seedfolks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+7q-Gac+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent short story teaching how to see and value individuals *by S***O on October 1, 2023* This is a terrific little book that pretty inobtrusively teaches about how people of different colors, races, religions, ethnicities, backgrounds, jobs, genders, languages, ages, motivations and physical characteristics and abilities can of their own volition connect as people and individuals around a common interest (in this case a self made community garden) and look beyond all those other more superficial characteristics that are more often used to divide people.
