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.
