A simple drive through the countryside takes an unexpected turn when your parents suddenly pull the car over. They have spotted wild watercress growing in a muddy ditch, and they want the whole family to help gather it. For a young girl wanting nothing more than to fit in, this sudden roadside foraging feels deeply embarrassing. She does not want to eat wild weeds, and she certainly does not want anyone to see her collecting them. But as her mother shares a bittersweet story of her own childhood in China, the gathered plants take on a completely new meaning. This beautifully painted, deeply moving story invites you to discover how a simple shared meal can bridge the gap between generations. You will uncover the quiet strength of family history and the pride that comes from embracing exactly where you come from.
