Author Description

Little Bella is surprised as she spots the dancing hosta plant. Hosta plants don't dance! No plants dance! But this one was. It was wiggling and jiggling and dancing all about! Laylah and Tia, her older sisters, are not close by, but Mama is. Bella runs quickly to tell her mama, who is preparing lunch in the kitchen. Mel, their adorable dog, who is every bit as eager and confused as Bella, is running along beside her. None of them know yet how important Bella's actions are at that moment. They don't know about the distressed robin family. The excitement, the chores, even the sadness, are all experiences yet to come, as is the pride, warmth, and gratification that comes from one family helping another.
