About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Everyone and everything – “my daddy, my mommy, bugs and worms, clouds and sky, lakes and rivers, the sun and stars – are parts of the tomato you cannot see. Take away any one, and the little yellow pear tomatoes in my garden could not be.” While playing in the garden, a young girl marvels at the energy and collaboration it takes to grow her yellow pear tomatoes. She discovers many intricate connections that are essential for growing the little fruits she loves so much.The inspiration for this book came from the Zen teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, as well as Demian's youngest daughter, Brhiannon, who really does love pear tomatoes.
