Lucy helps her neighbor Miss Mamie plant a paperwhite bulb indoors to "make spring" in the midst of winter, then they spend time together waiting for the bulb to bloom. More rewarding than the plain, linear story is the cut-paper artwork filled with details of the passage of time: the bulb's shoots grow, the days on the calendar are crossed off, and the scarves Miss Mamie knits get longer.
