What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

The approach is entirely secular and scientific. There are no sensitive topics such as death or decay; the focus remains strictly on the generative phase of the life cycle. It is a factual, hopeful look at biology.

Ideal Reader

A 4 to 6 year old who has just planted their first bean in a paper cup or a child who is fascinated by the 'magic' of the outdoors. It is perfect for the tactile learner who likes to get their hands dirty and wants to know the 'how' behind the 'what.'

Parent Prep

This book is straightforward and can be read cold. Parents might want to have a packet of seeds or a houseplant nearby to point out the parts of the plant mentioned in the text. A child asking "Why isn't my flower growing yet?" after only one day of planting, or a child noticing seeds on their socks after a walk in the woods.
