As a tribute to the film's 70th anniversary, 'Zuzu's Petals' retells the story of the 1946 film, 'It's a Wonderful Life' through the eyes of Zuzu Bailey, George and Mary's youngest daughter.
After learning of her father’s need for prayer, Zuzu falls asleep while repeating, ‘Please bring Daddy back.'
In her dream, she embarks on a journey to find her father and heal her wilting rose. While her flower loses petals with each person she meets, she is concerned that her gift is falling apart and will soon be gone. What she finds is that the greatest gift of all is caring for others and that never dies.
An intimate talk with Co-Author, Karolyn Grimes
