Rounded up for the beautiful illustrations. A little seed taken care of by the earth, water and sky grows into a tree. The tree offers to take care of a bird and then the bird saves one of the tree's seeds.

Thank you NetGalley for an advance copy.

This book is gorgeous! The text is so simple, but the effect is sophisticated. This book will be perfect in my Catholic Montessori school library. It not only captures the science of life cycles, but it also emphasizes care and love of the Earth.

It's the story about a seed that's protected by nature until he grows in a strong and beautiful plant. Perfect to show children the cycle of life in nature.

This is a gorgeously illustrated book with a lovely message that also sneaks in a bit of science. A perfect trio!

A simple, but moving story about the cycle of caring.

A lonely seed is taken care of by the earth, water and sun so that it grows into a big strong tree.  The tree in turn offers protection to a bird who can safely next in it's branches and care for her chick.  When the tree's apples fall, one seed does not land in the safe soil, but the bird the tree protecting returns the favor by carrying the seed to fertile land and sings to the seedling about it's great future.

Kindness is contagious.

The illustrations are bright and eye catching.
