An outstanding book which provides an early introduction to food chains.’ ― Parents In Touch

It Starts with a Seed
“Spare, rhyming text and detailed artwork inform readers about the life cycle of a sycamore tree, from seed to maturity–and its role in the ecosystem…While giving a general idea of how one journey from seed to tree influences an entire ecosystem, the text also emphasizes the wonder of growth―and life―itself. The tone is soothing and reverential. No hype here: understated enchantment.” ― Kirkus Reviews
