This story about a reluctant Seedling packs a powerful message about the benefits of being different.
Hailed by Publishers Weekly as delicate, complex, extravagant, beautiful and strong, Teckentrup\'s inviting and softly colored illustrations provide the perfect backdrop for this moving tale about being unique while subtly teaching kids about the life cycle of plants..
In the end, this little seed turns into a flower that\'s just as beautiful and healthy as all the others.
But the little Seedling persists, twisting and turning until, with the help of bird and insect friends, it finds its own place to Grow and blossom.
As most of the seeds transform into strong flowers, they block out the sun from the one left behind.
Each page of this gentle but powerfully evocative book demonstrates how some of us are different.
All except for one seedling, who isn\'t quite ready.
One by one they stretch through the dirt and towards the sun, extending their shoots and leaves and growing tall.
It\'s early spring and below the earth\'s surface seeds are just starting to sprout.
