This book was inspired by the quote by Greek poet, Dinos Christianopoulos who said, "They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds." In the 1990s the proverb was translated into Spanish and used by the Zapatistas, an indigenous people's movement in Mexico fighting for sovereignty. "Quisieron enterrarnos, pero no sabían que éramos semillas."

​

The pages in this book state how rights have been and continue to be taken away from people by those in power. We are reminded  of a seed's story, that with a bit of sun and water, we will sprout when we are buried.
