Description:
In autumn, a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and carries them
far across the land. One by one, many of the seeds are lost -- burned by the
sun, fallen into the ocean, eaten by a bird. But some survive the long winter
and, come spring, sprout into plants, facing new dangers -- trampled by
playing children, picked as a gift for a friend. Soon only the tiniest seed
remains, growing into a giant flower and, when autumn returns, sending its
own seeds into the wind to start the process over again.
Eric Carle's eloquent text and brilliant collages turn the simple life cycle
of a plant into an exciting story, a nature lesson, and an inspiring message
of the importance of perseverance.

Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots: Gardening Together with Children
Description:
Plant a pumpkinseed with a child, and cultivate wonder. This simple act of
reconnecting with children with nature is Sharon Lovejoy's purpose and joy
and gift. Author of Sunflower Houses: Garden Discoveries for Children of All
Ages and Hollyhock Days: Garden Adventures for the Young at Heart, Sharon
Lovejoy is a nationally known garden writer whose books, television specials,
and projects at her learning landscape in California have introduced thousands
of children to the pleasures of gardening.
In her newest book, Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots, she presents 12 spirited,
easy-to-implement ideas for theme gardens that parents and kids can grow
together. Illustrated throughout by the author's own lyrical watercolors,
each garden includes a plan, the planting recipe -- seeds, seedlings, and
growing instructions spelled out step-by-step -- and activities. There's the
Pizza Patch , a giant-size wheel garden planted in "slices" of tomatoes,
zucchini, oregano, and basil. A Flowery Maze to get lost in. A Moon Garden
of night-blooming flowers, including a moonflower tent. And Mother Nature's
Medicine Chest.
Discovery Walks teach kids how the gardens work, and a chapter on gardening
basics includes a child-friendly 10-Minute Plan for planting and maintenance,
plus a list of the top 20 plants guaranteed to make gardeners out of kids.
