The artwork is pleasing, and I know the story is a fantasy, but I didn't "buy" it. I love the sweet, cozy illustrations of Miss Maple carefully nurturing the seeds and the color palette of soft greens, yellows, pinks, and blues. We read this book this week to coincide with Week 1 of Exploring Nature with Children, which is about seeds. One page features names and images of 20 different types of seeds. Miss Maple's Seeds includes many different types of seeds, the different ways they can travel, and the different environments they grow in. As a mother, I resonate with the phrase which Miss Maple whispers to her seeds, "Take care, my little ones, for the world is big and you are small." With its themes of nurturing seeds and then seeing them go off on their own into the world, I think this book would be an especially sweet read-aloud gift for an older woman such as a grandmother or an aunt. C enjoyed Miss Maple's small size, which allows her to live in a tree trunk and ride on the backs of birds. Miss Maple, tiny enough to ride a songbird, collects and cares for seeds of all kinds. She learns each seed by heart, all similar yet none the same. "Take care, my little ones," Miss Maple says, "for the world is big and you are small." ... "But never forget...even the grandest of trees once had to grow up from the smallest of seeds." A reminder from the natural world that everything big started out small, and that small things have great value and potential. Wheeler's whimsical illustrations (created with dip pens, India ink, and watercolors) showcase close-ups and various perspectives. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
