useful primer on one of nature’s miraculous cycles. “Youngsters will feel a sense of awe as they witness the magic of a seed’s first tender shoot and the symbiosis of nature. It’s a volume almost as jam-packed as a seed itself.” “Employing spare language and sunny, stippled multimedia spreads that belie their quiet complexity, Portis gracefully traces a sunflower’s cycle from seed to sprout to plant-and back again. As with all of Portis's books, natural science is served sunny-side up, without a word out of place, in this essential guide.” “Like tissue paper held up to a sunny window, Portis's pictures have the glow of stained glass, offering texture and inviting readers to come a little closer to see what she has created. “Clear, engaging, beautiful, and perfectly pitched to its young audience-simply brilliant.”
With evocative and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the book explaining the science of plant life cycles. Antoinette Portis is the author of A New Green Day, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and NCTE Notable Book in Poetry, as well as the Sibert Honor winning Hey, Water!
