Grandpa told Mom, and Mom told me: The secret of a plant lives in every
little seed. Seeds are truly amazing! Did you know that every seed, no
matter how small (microscopic) or large (weighing up to 14 pounds),
contains everything it needs to one day grow into a plant? Three
generations of a gardening family work together to bring a backyard
garden to full bloom. Young readers are taken through each important
step, beginning with planting in the spring and ending with harvesting
in the fall. And let's not forget the buzzy and buggy inhabitants,
including bees, butterflies, and other insects (friends as well as
pests). At the end of the harvest season, the family collects and stores
the seeds for next year's garden. Rhyming text and lush artwork bring
the wonders and joys of gardening to life. Back matter includes
information about seeds.
