Award-winning team Dianna Hutts Aston and illustrator Sylvia Long team up on a gorgeous, informative hardcover children's book that explores the amazing life of seeds, celebrating them in all their beauty and splendor.

From the tiniest redwood seed to the giant coconut seed, we learn about the amazing variety of seeds in the world, and how they grow into the plants and flowers and trees that dot our planet, all as a natural progression of perfect beauty and harmony.

Long's gorgeous and detailed illustrations combine with Aston's highly educational, yet entertaining text to present a virtual field guide to the wonder of seeds and how they are nurtured. This is a book written for kids of all ages, yet the factual material will also educate adults who may not be savvy to the wondrous workings of the natural world.

Aston and Long have also written the highly acclaimed An Egg is Quiet, and now they take that same grace, beauty and reverence and apply it to seeds. You will never look at nature the same way again after reading this inspiring, and luscious to look at, book.
