Description
Poe, a long and leafy vine, is new to a colorful cast of kitchen shelf plants. Poe sees how special and useful the other plants are-beautiful flowers, tasty leaves, spiky arms and fly-catching traps. Unable to see her own brilliant qualities, she tries to be like her shelfmates. With a little help from her friends, several stem-breaking stumbles and a deep look inside, Poe discovers the unique gifts rooted in herself.
