Why read it?
1 author picked The Story of Seeds as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Nancy Castaldo and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to connecting kids and teens to the environment. In The Story of Seeds, she says, “It may sound crazy, even improbable, but there are scientists who are risking their lives every day for seeds. It’s true, and they’ve been doing it for years.” I love her conversational style and the narrative arc of this book. A must-read for teens who like to get their hands dirty.
Perfect for ages 12 and up.
From Patricia's list on nature to WOW! kids and teens.
