Summary
Together Miss Mamie and Lucy plant a paperwhite bulb. Through the long, dark winter days they nurture the bulb and wait for it to bring a sign of spring. In the waiting hours, they also cultivate a gentle relationship between young and old, as sweet and lovely as the delicate white narcissus flowers that bloom from a simple bulb.
As she did in Rabbit’s Bedtime, Nancy Elizabeth Wallace has combined just the right amount of thoughtful text with lovingly prepared cut-paper illustrations to make a book that is at once sweet and poignant.

Media reviews
"A delightful read." School Library Journal, starred review (10/00) School Library Journal, Starred
"Both in pictures and spare text, children can follow along as the two rabbit friends carefully fill a jar with pebbles, place the bulb at the top, and watch as roots and shoots grow, day by lengthening day. . . . The promise of spring, and the pleasures of intergenerational friendship, dovetail neatly here." Kirkus Reviews (8/15/00) Kirkus Reviews
"The story works on two levels, celebrating both the wonders of nature and the pleasures of a loving intergenerational friendship." Publishers Weekly (9/11/00) Publishers Weekly
"This is a neatly put-together tale that should warm up some winter storytimes." The Bulletin (11/00) The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
