IT STARTS WITH A SEED
Book ID/图书代码: 11180017C00018
English Summary/英文概要: In gentle rhyme, It Starts with a Seed evocatively explores the growth of a tiny sycamore seed.
Taking a journey through the seasons and years, we follow the seed as it transforms from a seedling to a sapling, then a young tree, until it becomes a large tree with its branches and roots filling the page. As the tree grows, it is joined by well-loved woodland creatures – squirrels and rabbits, butterflies and owls – who make it their home. Beautiful and evocative, It Starts with a Seed is a factual story that will touch children with its simple but enchanting message of life and growth.
Beautifully presented, It Starts with a Seed has a gold embossed front cover, gatefolds, textured paper and specialised etching technique, hand made by the illustrator throughout.
It Starts with a Seed was the winner of the inaugural Margaret Mallett Award for Children’s Non-Fiction.

Awards/获奖情况:简明押韵的文字和详细的艺术作品,让读者了解了一棵桑树的生命周期,从种子到果实,再到它在生态系统中的作用。同时,从种子到树的整个生态系统。它也强调了生长和生命本身的神奇。语气是抚慰和虔诚的。这里没有大肆宣传:低调的魅力。“——评论
“Spare, rhyming text and detailed artwork inform readers about the life cycle of a sycamore tree, from seed to maturity—and its role in the ecosystem…While giving a general idea of how one journey from seed to tree influences an entire ecosystem, the text also emphasizes the wonder of growth—and life—itself. The tone is soothing and reverential. No hype here: understated enchantment.” – Kirkus Reviews
