Small Fry Pick of the Week: Miss Maple's Seeds

                                                       Miss Maple’s Seeds byEliza Wheeler

“Never forget that even the grandest of trees once had to grow up from the smallest seeds.”

Miss Maple nurtures her seeds as if they were her own children.

If you’re looking for an imaginative picture book reminiscent of an old fairy tale and have a nature lover in your midst, check this title out! Miss Maple’s Seeds is filled with whimsical watercolors that provide a delicate presentation of seasons, with gentle winds carrying seeds in harmony with the natural world, and the changing seasons. Each winter,  Miss Maple tends to the seeds she rescues in the Spring.  This delightful, caring character scouts out seeds to rescue, brings them back to her home ( in a tree) and feeds new life into them. A great visual, and lovely reinforces the importance of compassion in general, care and thoughtfulness of nature.
