@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound
Booktalk: Lily and her grandmother search for ten beautiful things as they take a long car ride to Iowa and Lily’s new home with Gran. At first, Lily sees nothing beautiful in the slush and cloudy sky. Soon though, Lily can see beauty in unexpected places, from the smell of spring mud to a cloud shaped like a swan to a dilapidated barn. A furious rainstorm mirrors Lily’s anxiety, but as it clears Lily discovers the tenth beautiful thing: Lily and Gran and their love for each other.
Snippet:
Lily ran her finger across the Iowa map.
A X marked Gran’s house
on a empty patch of land.
Lily’s new home.
