ABOUT THE BOOK

A Seed in Need follows the remarkable journey of a tiny sunflower seed as it grows into a beautiful flowering plant and eventually produces seeds of its own. Through colourful illustrations and an easy-to-follow progression, young children can learn about the plant life cycle while being encouraged to observe plants and ask questions about the natural world.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Recommended Age: 4–8 years

Ideal for: Preschool and early-primary children, budding gardeners, nature lovers, homeschoolers and children learning about plants and life cycles for the first time.

WHY WE LOVE IT

This book provides a simple and valuable introduction to one of the fundamental concepts in early science. By following one sunflower through its life cycle, children can understand growth, change and reproduction visually rather than simply memorising scientific terms.
