Newberry Award winning author Paul Fleischman's Seedfolks tells the inspirational story of how a young girl transforms a sad and lonely Cleveland neighborhood into a wonderful community by starting a garden. The story is told by thirteen different people of all ages, races, and backgrounds. The Seedfolks Project is a three day residency for students, which uses Fleischman's story to create their very own "Seedfolks characters." Students analyze the social and political forces that influence the lives of Clevelanders.
