her skin was the color of chocolate

she was born in america in a place

called

tennessee this mrs gibson was small

her skin was the color of vanilla

she was born in japan in a place called

gifu

[Music]

[Applause]

this mrs gibson gave hugs that were like

being

wrapped up in a great big fat

bare skin rug come here and give me some

sugar

she would say this mrs gibson

gave hugs that were like being wrapped

up in a light

down filled comforter at bedtime she'd

stroke my hair

and hamsakura until i fell asleep

this mrs gibson was loud

she had a big laugh and

a big voice which would get

louder when she was angry

or when she was singing and she seemed

to be singing

all the time this little light of mine

i'm gonna let it shine

this mrs gibson was quiet

she would cover her mouth when she

laughed so you could never see her teeth

and when she was

angry she'd get even quieter

this mrs gibson had small hands

that could make the littlest prettiest

strokes of a pen

when she would write our names in

japanese

kumiki akimi

toyomi yoshiteru

this mrs gibson had big

hands they looked like they covered

all the keys on the piano when she

played her favorite spirituals

this little light of mine i'm gonna let

it shine

let it shine let it shine let it shine

[Music]

sometimes this mrs gibson

would look kind of sad and then she

would let me dress up in one of the

kimonos she had packed away in an old

trunk

these very special she would say as she

tied the obi

around my waist don't get dirty

the other mrs gibson's clothes were much

too big for me to dress up in

but i like to wear her fancy hats

this is my sunday go to meeting hat

she would say i should take the long

pointy hat pin out of my hand

don't get it dirty now

in the evening in the garden this mrs

gibson

would help me make magical lamps

by catching fireflies and putting them

in a jelly jar

they would glow and glow

and then we'd let them go

later at dinner time this mrs gibson

would make more magic her hands would

turn

little bits of napkins into a whole

flock of

long-necked cranes we would throw them

into the air

where they would fly high and then

flutter down to the ground

happy birds she would always say

this mrs gibson always had a pot of rice

cooking

we would eat it with bits of meat and

vegetables on it

with plenty of shoyu anytime we were

hungry

she could take her long chopsticks and

stir up

dinner in the blink of an eye

this mrs gibson always had a pot of

greens cooking turnip greens

dandelion greens mustard greens from the

garden

everything she cooked seemed to take a

long long time

[Music]

this mrs gibson had short curly hair

that she would oil and braid up every

night while she listened to the radial

she liked to braid my hair too but she

would

always give me one big

fat braid that would hang down

over my forehead

i didn't like that braid so i would go

to the other mrs gibson

and she'd take it out this mrs gibson

used to have long stick straight hair

but she cut it short and tried to make

it curly

she said she wanted to be more american

this mrs gibson's other name was kazumi

everyone called her kaz or connie

because they couldn't pronounce

kazoo i called her mommy

because she was my mother

[Music]

this mrs gibson's other name was viola

everyone called her vi or reverend

gibson

because she was a church minister i

called her nanny

because she was my grandmother

i once knew two mrs gibsons

they were very different but they had a

lot in common

they both loved my daddy and they both

loved me

[Music]

oh i get it the one mrs gibson was her

mom and the other mrs gibson

this is the butterfly seeds by mary

watson

here we go

[Music]

jake's house was empty except for the

overstuffed trunk in the middle of the

floor

sit on it mama papa instructed

his sisters giggled as they watched mama

bounce up and down

while papa tried to close the latch

but jake just stared out the window

he kept thinking about how much

he would miss grandpa

when grandpa came to say goodbye he

brought presents for everyone

but he gave jake something special

they're butterfly seeds grandpa said

poking around in the little tin box

just plant them in your new garden

and like magic you'll have hundreds

of butterflies

are you sure they will grow in america

grandpa

jake uh sadly grandpa

pressed the little box tightly into

jake's hand

and nodded that evening

jake's family crowded onto the deck of

the great

ss celtic many of the passengers

were carrying ba*ls of yarn with the

ends

trailing over the side of the boat

when the ship pulled away from the dock

those

left behind held the ends

and watched the lines stretch out across

the ocean

jake could barely see grandpa when his

yarn line

was pulled from his hand he reached into

his pocket

to make sure grandpa's seeds were safe

that night the ship tossed

rolling the passengers back and forth

in their narrow bunk beds

jake couldn't sleep he reached over and

slipped his hand

into his jacket pocket what do you have

there

benny asked the boys moved closer to the

dim

cabin light the butterfly scenes

jake said opening the tin

what kind of seats a few sleepy-eyed

children

asked as they crawled down from their

bunk

then jake told them about grandpa's

seeds

and the beautiful butterfly garden he

would plant in america

look what i'm bringing to america benny

exclaimed

and then the show-and-tell game began

betty let everyone hold his real

gold pocket watch jake's sisters paraded

their

porcelain dolls there were spinning tops

hand-painted eggs musical instruments

and even a lucky horseshoe

but everyone agreed that jake's

butterfly seeds were the best of all

except albert

whoever heard of butterfly seeds

he said just played his harmonica

after two long weeks the ship

docked in new york papa held

tightly to mama and the children as

everyone was herded onto the waiting

ferry books

when the fairies reached ellis island

the passengers were shuffled into long

lines

to be inspected jake's heart raced as he

slowly

inched up in line he wondered

if they would take away his seeds the

inspectors

looked in jake's ears eyes but not his

pockets

grandpa seeds were safe

[Music]

finally jake and his family arrived at

their new home

on market street papa led the family up

three flights of stairs to two small

rooms

jake looked out at the narrow dark alley

cluttered with lines of drying clothes

where can i plant grandpa's seeds

he worried the next morning

jake was up early below he spotted a

fruit vendor

emptying a crate of apples into his cart

could i have that empty crate sir he

held out

before mr gargiulo could figure out

where the question had come from

jake was standing breathlessly beside

him

i'm going to make a a window box

so i can plant my grandpa's seeds in it

and that's why i need the crate he

blurted out

you can have the crate boy but i don't

think it's any good for planting seeds

mr gargiulo wiggled his fingers between

the slats

all you need is a piece of burlap to fix

that

called mr ling chow the fish peddler

emptied his catch into an icy bin

and handed jake the empty bag

jake opened the seam with his pocket

knife

and spread the burlap evenly inside the

crate

jake hurried across the street to the

blacksmith's shop to show papa

it was papa's first day at his new job

and he didn't pay much attention when

jake

asked for his advice i need a way to

keep this crate

from falling off our windowsill jake

shouted over the ring of the anvil

maybe i could help you someone hollered

it was mr o'malley the shop owner he

knew

just what jake needed he hammered

two bars of red-hot metal into a strong

pair of window box hangers

and after work papa nailed the box

into place jake rigged up a clothesline

and a pulley

to hoist up buckets of dirt from the

alley

all of the neighborhood children wanted

to help all

except for albert who played his

harmonica

instead

it was a hot summer jake and his new

friends

climbed the fire escape every day to

check the window box

they would hang over the railing and

search through the bushy plants for

butterflies

[Music]

maybe your silly old grandpa got the

seeds mixed up

albert wood mudder

jake began to wonder if grandpa's seeds

were

magic or just a story made up for a

homesick

boy then one day the sky rumbled

and a sudden shower drenched

the hot steaming streets

when the sun reappeared merchants

and shoppers filled the street once more

the children went back to their play

suddenly mr gargiulo called out look at

that beautiful butterfly

children chased the butterfly through

the crowded street

until it flew up to jake's window box

look at them all albert shouted

jake heard albert's yell

and opened his window

they're finally here grandpa

jake whispered as if grandpa were

listening

your butterflies are here

and they like america too

the yet wow

i'll bet whenever jake sees a butterfly

he'll think of his grandpa

that's a beautiful thought isn't it yeah
