Her grandfather still struggles to accept that his Japanese son married a Black woman, and that Cassidy, their mixed granddaughter, exists. But in the quiet beauty of her grandparents' garden, Cassidy discovers something extraordinary: she can speak to the flowers-and to Kenji, the family dog. It is there, in the soil, that she discovers the bloom of a magical creature named Dower-part flower, part dog, and wholly a reflection of Cassidy's own identity. As Cassidy learns to navigate the complexities of love, heritage, and belonging, she finds herself at the center of a battle to save the garden from a corporate takeover led by the villainous Mrs. Pain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack home, her classmates wrestle with their own stories of difference and acceptance, sparked by a classroom confrontation that challenges them to redefine what it means to be inclusive.
