The special relationship between a child and his grandmother is depicted in this sumptuous book
by an award-winning team. Inspired by memories of his childhood Jordan Scott's My Baba's
Garden explores the sights sounds and smells experienced by a child spending time with their
beloved grandmother (Baba) with special attention to the time they spent helping her tend her
garden searching for worms to keep it healthy. They visit her every day and find her hidden in
the steam of boiling potatoes a hand holding a beet a leg opening a cupboard an elbow
closing the fridge humming like a night full of bugs when she cooks. A ritualistic
relationship with few words rooted in feeling and emotion.
