Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A gorgeous, lyrical exploration of how seeds travel from plant to plant, take root, and grow.


When you think of a plant, you don't think of how it moves. But the feathery seeds of the dandelion fly to other gardens, strawberry tendrils creep, and maple seeds spin. There are many different ways plants move, not only as they grow, but in their quest to reproduce: falling, clinging, floating, burrowing--even exploding!

Fourteen plant journeys are chronicled, but more than sixty species are highlighed in Émilie Vast's fantastic and unique art style. Learn the scientific names for the different ways plants move.

"Examples of the many ways plants and their seeds move-falling, clinging, burrowing, floating, via animal consumption or transport--in their quest to reproduce"-- Provided by publisher.

Ages 5-8. Charlesbridge.
