In honor of both Sprngtime and Passover, My in-laws sent my daughter this beautiful picture book– and she has been eagerly soaking it up ever since. As have her parents, who (though we hate to admit it) know next to nothing about planting anything.
A Seed Is Sleepy, lyrically penned by Dianna Aston and beautifully illustrated by Sylvia Long, introduces children to a vast array of interesting facts about seeds, with exquisite and finely detailed drawings that will have your kid confidently expounding upon the difference between a hamburger bean and a japanese maple seed before you know it.
Each page is more enticing than the next, and elaborates on one particular aspect of the life of a seed… it’s actually inspired us to plant a garden from seeds ourselves!
Published by Chronicle books in 2007, you can pick this up at Amazon, if you’re not feeling like hiking over to your local bookstore to see if they have it…
Oh also, here are some nice ideas for activities to do while experiencing this book.
