A Seed Grows
Antoinette Portis
A sunflower’s life cycle unfolds from a small seed to a full flower and then to new seeds. The book looks beneath the soil as roots develop, follows the stalk as it emerges, and reaches a large fold-out bloom. Minimal, lyrical text accompanies textured images showing the plant at each stage. Rain, sunlight, soil, roots, petals, and seeds all have a place in the sunflower’s continuing growth.
