Before reading, here are some questions to ask to spark engagement.
- What do you love most about nature?
- Why do you think we celebrate Earth Day? What else do we celebrate?
- Have you ever planted a seed? What did it grow into?
- Have you ever climbed high in a tree or dug low in the Soil? What did you discover?
This colorful and playful book reveals the journey of a seed learning about the magical connection between it and the soil.
Have you ever stopped to think about what’s beneath the soil that makes nature beautiful and lively?
It’s a world that often goes unnoticed, but it’s essential for the growth and survival of plants. Join a tiny seed on its journey as it clings to a cozy spot on a tree, stubbornly avoiding the soil below.
Up high in the tree, the air is fresh, the sun is shining, and the view is fantastic. But down low in the soil, things can get a bit messy with all the dirt, fungi, and bugs! BUGS AND INSECTS are EVERYWHERE!
However, the seed soon discovers that this muddy environment is crucial for its survival. It’s all part of the incredible ecosystem that keeps our planet thriving. So next time you’re out enjoying nature, remember that there’s a whole world beneath your feet that’s just as important as what’s above ground.
