Parastoo loves the colours that make up her world, and especially loves the blue swallows in the tree outside her window. Shes sad when they fly south for the winter - and this year is hard because her mom has to go away for a while, too. Fortunately, her grandparents take great care of her, and she continues to find joy in the wonders of each season. But she longs for spring, when her mother will return just like the swallows. Celebrating the cycles of nature, this warm family story offers a reassuring message about how seasons of nature - and life - come and go, each with their own special beauty.
