Muriel is sulking--she celebrated her birthday yesterday under the old avocado tree, but today shes not even a little bit taller! Dad tells Muriel 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 Muriel and her avocado plant grow, take root, and eventually bring new life. Avocados are ubiquitous and plucked straight from the tree in Taltal Levis native country, Israel, as well as throughout Latin America. 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!

Juntos, colocan en la ventana una semilla de aguacate en un vaso de agua y observan cómo tanto Muriel como su planta de aguacate crecen, echan raíces y finalmente engendran nueva vida. Los aguacates están en todos partes y se recogen directamente del árbol en el país natal de Taltal Levi, Israel, así como por toda América Latina. En su tercer libro, Taltal Levi utiliza colores cálidos para contar una historia personal pero universal sobre la magia del crecimiento. ¡Incluye instrucciones para cultivar tu propio árbol de aguacate!
