Sophie's Squash

The blend of food, gardening, and friendship feels so natural here. I wonder if the author has a personal gardening story that influenced this.

Sophie’s journey from frustration to patience really resonated with me. Has anyone else experienced a similar moment of growth in their own relationships?

The artwork perfectly complements the tone, making it even more engaging for young readers. I’m curious whether the illustrations were planned from the start or evolved alongside the text.
