"Leaves have the
special job of
absorbing sunshine.
Plants turn sunlight
into food in a process
called photosynthesis.
Turning sunlight
into food is a plant's
superpower."
Do you have a favorite flower? So many children are interested in the flowers they see around them. You know how much they love the dandelion flower, and how happy they are to bring bouquet after bouquet inside as soon as they pop their yellow heads out of the ground.
In this book, they will journey from place to place seeing where flowers grow, the colors they display, how they grow, and what they need to do that. Once buds open, careful observers can see what flowers look like inside, and learn why flowers are so important to the natural world. Their colors and smells attract pollinators. Flowers then create new seeds which are carried in a variety of ways to be planted elsewhere.
Visually appealing illustrations are clear, telling, and engaging. Labels, captions, and speech bubbles ensure understanding for the target audience and leave readers with the idea that planting their own garden would be a worthwhile pursuit. If your kids are interested in knowing more about the natural world, this is a wonderful way to start.
"Whatever you plant
in your garden will be
lovely.
Because you know what's
inside a flower and you
understand the science
that makes flowers special.
Happy flowers mean
a happy earth for you and me."
