AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

A tiny seed is taken care of by Earth, Water, and Sky. It becomes a tree who then takes care of a bird and its baby. When the tree’s apple seed falls on rocky ground, the bird finds it and carries it to good ground where the circle of life begins again. 

There are many books about seeds that appeal to my grandchildren and myself much more than this story. It is told in a simple style with simple illustrations. The appealing part is that it tells the circle of life of a seed clearly.
