A tender and cozy tribute to the magic of growing up. -Kirkus Reviews

Avocado seeds and slow growing! A young girl's impatience turns to wonder as she and her avocado tree gradually change and grow in this story inspired by Israeli artist Taltal Levi's childhood.

A Bank Street Best Book of 2025

Ellie is sulking--she celebrated her birthday yesterday under the old avocado tree. But she's not even a little bit taller today! Dad tells Ellie a secret. She is like the pit of an avocado, he explains, small and full of magic. Together they put an avocado seed in a glass of water by the window and watch as both Ellie and her avocado plant grow, take root, and eventually bring new life.

In Taltal Levi's native country Israel, avocados are ubiquitous and plucked straight from the tree. In her third book, Taltal Levi uses warm, earthy colors to tell a personal yet universal story about the magic of growth.

Includes instructions for growing your own avocado tree!
