Sprout - Hardcover

by Michelle Crispe (Author), James Andrews (Illustrator)

Sprout, a baby sunflower seed, takes an exciting journey as he develops into a full-grown sunflower. Along the way, he encounters challenges that test his courage, and he learns to face the uncertainties that come with growth. Often he finds himself in dark places, tempted to follow the pack and stay safe, but he chooses to be brave and trust nature to provide. His mother's words, that he was meant for wide open spaces, ring strongly in his memory as he pushes through each obstacle and grows into the flower he was meant to be.

Tucked away in a delightful rhyme lies a powerful message of bravery and self-confidence. Michelle Crispe has crafted a tale that not only introduces young readers to the science of plant life, but also uses that science to teach valuable lessons.
