穿梭古老工藝經緯，織進波斯地毯中的動人祖孫情
Rose知道，世界上有三樣東西是Baba Joon (波斯語中，對父親或祖父的親近稱呼)的最愛：他為家人巧手變出美麗地毯的織布機、他悉心照料的花園，還有他心愛的小孫女Rose！
當三者如地毯絲線般交織，又會是怎樣的一幅美麗風景呢？Rose準備和爺爺學習如何織地毯，而圖樣靈感正來自她筆下，爺爺花園中的景色！從將絲線浸入染缸，到肩並肩坐在織布機前，全神貫注打著一個又一個繁複的結，祖孫兩人都興奮無比。但一張地毯的成形得花上漫長時間，還沒完成，爺爺就病倒了。
Rose知道什麼能讓爺爺打起精神—一張織著他百花盛開花園的手工地毯！只是，少了爺爺的幫忙，她該如何靠自己完成？她能夠和爺爺一起，為這張地毯做出完美的收尾嗎？
獲獎無數的伊朗裔美國作家兼插畫家Rashin Kheiriyeh，再次以匠心妙手，將祖孫間真摯的親情，與自身所屬的伊朗文化細密交織，如同傳統波斯地毯工藝中的繁複繩結與圖樣，於絲線經緯中，串起古老波斯與當代伊朗，也串起家族間綿延的愛和羈絆。
