“Every Little Seed” by Cynthia Schumerth
Grandpa told mom, and mom told me: The secret of a plant lives in every little seed. Seeds are truly amazing! Did you know that every seed, no matter how small (microscopic) or large (weighing up to 14 pounds), contains everything it needs to one day grow into a plant?

Three generations of a gardening family work together to bring a backyard garden to full bloom. Young readers are taken through each important step from planting in the spring to harvesting in the fall.
