The book Seedfolks is about meeting new people and bringing them close to you. Family provides people with other people to relate to. This can be achieved by joining a community garden. My first example of this is when Amir on page 60 says “ I was surprised I was one of them.” He says this when he chases after a criminal when he normally wouldn’t have.

Personal Response: I read the book SeedFolks by Paul Fleischman. The book wasn’t really what I thought it was going to be. The book was pretty boring but it had a bigger meaning to it.
