When Heidi notices that her momma seems tired and different, she learns that momma has something called breast cancer. With a heart full of questions and worries, Heidi turns to the place she loves most—the garden.
Among flowers, soil, and sunshine, Momma gently explains that her body is working hard to fight off “weeds” (cancer cells) with the help of doctors, just like they care for the garden together. Through this metaphor of a loving nature, Heidi begins to understand illness in a way that feels safe, hopeful, and filled with love.
