My favorite character in Seedfolks is Tio Juan. I admire Tio Juan because he still tried to feel a connection to the community even though he didn’t know English and couldn’t communicate . He had previously been a farmer, so he asked his niece to get seeds for the garden so he could reconnect with the community. He reconnected to the community through building a small garden for the seeds and trowels. I can relate to Tio Juan because I saw some sprouts in my compost pile and grew a garden out of them.
