"Flowers produce seed pods and when the seeds are ripe, they are released from the pod. How do they find their way to a place where they will grow? We will find the answer when we travel with the seeds"--Page 4 of cover.

A little seed is thrilled when her dream about becoming a beautiful red rose comes true.

A small seed discovers itself by exploring its roots and connections to the world above. The seed grows to become increasingly aware of its strength, gaining the confidence it needs to blossom into a sturdy independent and powerful tree. By observing its place in nature, the seed experiences the excitement of growth as well as the joys of feeling connected, secure, and strong. When the seed becomes a tree, it also learns the importance of the strength of its roots and its connection to all living things.
