This simple look at a sunflower life cycle and the seasons is again pitch perfect for the very young. Rob’s rhythmic text is memorable while his illustrations show just how worthwhile and rewarding continuing contact with the natural world can be. A small piece of brilliance.

Ramsden’s spare text echoes the inscrutable seed, while the juxtaposition of image and text provides a finely paced visual representation of patience. Just as the children must wait for the seed to reveal itself, so the reader must wait too.

I love the retro feel of the delicately illustrated cloth cover of this book... Perfect to get children interested in gardening and introduce them to the plant life cycle and seasons. Part picture book, part early nature book, it's a lovely way to show young children the cycle of the seasons and the wonders of nature.

Perfect for encouraging little ones to find their green fingers, get their knees muddy and have a wonderful time.

We Found A Seed is a wonderfully simple story about a boy and girl who discover how to make a plant grow. The plant life cycle is followed throughout the seasons, and playful and poignant pictures match the poetic storyline. It’s a companion to Ramsden’s previous book I Saw A Bee and follows the same structure.

* Big Issue *

A superb little book for early years kids, encouraging them to try growing their own things to see what sprouts from the soil.
