Thank you for your wonderful review. I think this sounds like a great book about family and treating everyone with kindness. I especially enjoyed how they respected and treated Mrs. Nelson and the sisters treated each other, even as different as each sister was. Great lessons for everyone. I do wonder what happened to their father though?

It's nice to read a story like this. Enlightening and heartwarming. I admire the author's way of giving importance to raising a child and the vital role of an extended family member, like aunt Flory.
Reading is a journey to the world.

I noticed right away that Zoey, Ruby, and Celeste were very different from each other. The sickness that Zoey is having is what made me curious. What was making her act this way? Thanks for the review! :)

I just got interested the way the story was narrated. It portrays how a good union and friendship can take people far in overcoming cruelty. Its worthy reading and kept me interested as i kept reading. A perfect narration.

A book about family relations, friends, neighbors and love for nature. A loving aunt taking care of her sister's triplets demanding a tough responsibilty. Can she handle it when they grow older, well that maybe another book or story.I enjoyed reading the book.Thanks for the great review.

Looking at the title, I would've guessed that it was a children's book. Turns out I'm wrong! My interest is piqued to read about the bonding between sisters. Thanks for a great review!

I love how the book explores the triplets' bond. Zoey and her two sisters learns how hard it is to thrive and meet the standards of the small village they live in. However the book teaches us some valuable lessons. Congrats on BOTD!!

I define love as ensuring another person's peace is maintaned or restored. I'm sure that the triplets won't forget their mother's sister. Wait! Are you sure the triplets don't represent bugs, weeds and water? Nice review.

The narrative of the book is very well described by the reviewer. I'm wondering as to whether or not the sisters were able to locate their father. Great review!

:techie-studyingbrown: Bugs, weeds and water is a very interesting book about coming-of-age, the story is narrated beautifully and connected between the little Starling family. This book give us some to learn, learn about friendship, learn about respect to others, learn how to survive with this cruel situation. Happy reading!
