The special relationship between a child and his grandmother is
depicted in this sumptuous book by an award-winning team. Inspired
by memories of his childhood, Jordan Scott's My Baba's Garden
explores the sights, sounds and smells experienced by a child
spending time with their beloved grandmother (Baba). He visits her
every day and finds her hidden in the steam of boiling potatoes, a
hand holding a beetroot, a leg opening a cupboard, an elbow closing
the fridge, humming like a night full of bugs when she cooks. This
is a stunning ode to the special relationship between grandmother
and grandchild, needing few words, but rooted deeply in ritual,
touch and feeling.

What if words got stuck in the back of your mouth whenever you
tried to speak? After a day of being unable to speak when asked,
and of being stared at, a boy and his father go to the river for
some quiet time. "It's just a bad speech day," says Dad. But the
boy can't stop thinking about all the eyes watching his lips
twisting and twirling. When his father points to the river
bubbling, churning, whirling and crashing, the boy finds a way to
think about how he speaks. Even the river stutters. Like him. "I
talk like a river," he says. An incredibly moving picture book that
offers understanding rather than a solution, and which will
resonate with all readers, young and old. Masterfully illustrated
by Sydney Smith, winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal.

by memories of his childhood, Jordan Scott's My Baba's Garden
