Publisher's Synopsis
El and Jo are best friends. They're the smallest students in their class, and even their names are short. But in springtime, something BIG happens: Jo starts growing like a weed. El feels smaller every day. On the last day of school, El and Jo's teacher passes out plants for the children to care for over the summer. At first, El is disappointed that she ends up with an aster, which is looking less than promising. But as summer progresses, the aster blooms-and so does El! This sweet story proves that growing bigger doesn't mean you have to grow apart
