The story of a seed as it journeys from the branches of a tree into the ground and becomes first a young sapling and then a tree.
It is written by Laura Knowles and illustrated by Jennie Webber.
Words and Pictures, part of the Quarto group, have produced a simply beautiful book in a lyrical form about a factual story.
Excellently presented , It Starts with a Seed, has gold blocking on the front cover, textured paper and etching techniques handmade by Jennie throughout the book.
It introduces children to how the eco-system works, it teaches children about the life cycle of a tree, it has stunning artwork and words that easily engage the reader.
Laura writes books about animals and nature and lives in London.
Jennie is a visual artist, printmaker and animal lover with an eye to detail, especially on plants and with animals. Lots of chances for observation and concepts of conservation.
Ilustrator Jennie Webber explains her creative and artistic technique in this short film. Having a copy of this book is a great way to keep her artwork with you!
A beautiful book and a fascinating book to read.
