To Be Like the Sun

Soon it will be time to plant flowers in the garden. In this simple picture book, a young girl plants some sunflower seeds, and watches them grow into a tall beautiful sunflower. When summer is ended, the seeds become feed for the birds, and in winter the girl reflects on how hard the seed worked 'to be like the sun'. Written by Minnesotan Susan Marie Swanson with illustrations by Margaret Chados-Irvine, this could be a nice supplement for a Spring seed or flower unit.
