My children love learning about nature. Most of their time is spent outside and almost every day they discover a new plant, rock, bug, or feature of the land that grabs their attention. I love this and love encouraging their love of nature, discovery, and adventure. When I come across books that can do the same, I can't wait to read it with them.
Take a journey through the seasons and years as we follow the seed’s transformation from a seedling to a sapling, then a young tree, until it becomes a large tree with its branches and roots filling the page.
As the tree grows, it is joined by well-loved woodland creatures – squirrels and rabbits, butterflies and owls – who make it their home. Beautiful and evocative, It Starts With a Seed is a factual story that will touch children with its simple, enchanting message of life and growth.
Snapper and Tbomb's eyes were filled with enchantment as we read this book and they saw the changes to the tree and how the trees affect the ecosystem. This book really shows how important trees are and how many animals call them home. With the focus on the Sycamore's life cycle, children learn to love these little seeds and what they become. They want to plant trees of their own now.
