The book begins with Ming and her poppy playing together in the garden. They are best friends, and Ming loves her poppy very much. But one day, the poppy dies, and Ming is heartbroken. She doesn't know what to do or how to feel. She is so sad that she can't even cry.

Ming's friends try to help her, but nothing they say or do seems to make her feel better. Finally, Ming's grandmother takes her to the garden and tells her about the cycle of life. She explains that all things must die, but that new life will always come again. Ming's grandmother also tells her that the poppy will always be with her, in her heart.
