How can someone so small create such a big change? Join Janie Grace, a spunky seven-year-old, on a big adventure as she learns the value of planting just few good seeds in the world around her. Janie Grace is excited to finally get to work on her Papa's apple orchard, but little does she know, she is about to learn a lesson that will change her life forever. Papa showed me the apple seeds again. "Oh, the seeds you can sow in this world, Janie Grace, if you just look for the opportunities. Every time you say or do something kind, you are planting good seeds in someone else's heart. You never know how far just one little seed will go." Janie Grace is determined to plant some good seeds and finds courage to choose kindness, even when the school bully makes it difficult.

This delightful children's book provides a timeless moral that is ideal for children ages 3-9 and Pre K-3rd grade.

Book Description
Striking illustrations and a simple narrative celebrate the potential of seeds, literal and metaphorical. Some seeds are whisked away by the wind, while others are carried by creatures to their destinations. Once seeds find their spot, they go through breathtaking transformations, multiplying in number and size and thriving in even the most unseemly places. We humans plant seeds, too, and with care we can cultivate and nurture something wonderful, whether by sowing a seed in the earth or by choosing our own seeds of kindness to spread around. With gorgeous, welcoming illustrations, the creator of Trees and Birds presents another ode to the beauty around and within us.

Book Description
How do you make a garden grow? In this playful companion to the popular Tap the Magic Tree and Touch the Brightest Star, you will see how tiny seeds bloom into beautiful flowers. And by tapping, clapping, waving, and more, young readers can join in the action! Christie Matheson masterfully combines the wonder of the natural world with the interactivity of reading. Beautiful collage-and-watercolor art follows the seed through its entire life cycle, as it grows into a zinnia in a garden full of buzzing bees, curious hummingbirds, and colorful butterflies. Children engage with the book as they wiggle their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after rain, and shoo away a hungry snail. Appropriate for even the youngest child, Plant the Tiny Seed is never the same book twice—no matter how many times you read it! And for curious young nature lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and animals featured in the book is included at the end. Fans of Press Here, Eric Carle, and Lois Ehlert will find their next favorite book in Plant the Tiny Seed.

Book Description
"We say that we want to be happy. If that's what we really want, we should start planting seeds of happiness. The kind of flower you get depends on the seed you have planted; this is a law of nature. In the same way, if you plant the seeds of happiness, the flowers of happiness will bloom. Buddhism teaches the law of cause and effect, which enables you to become a happier you. This book applies that clear law to the troubles that various people have, explaining things in a way that will be easy for them to understand."--Amazon.com.
