Little Seed's Journey


Book Description

A small seed discovers itself by exploring its roots and connections to the world above. The seed grows to become increasingly aware of its strength, gaining the confidence it needs to blossom into a sturdy independent and powerful tree. By observing its place in nature, the seed experiences the excitement of growth as well as the joys of feeling connected, secure, and strong. When the seed becomes a tree, it also learns the importance of the strength of its roots and its connection to all living things.

Appropriate for even the youngest child, Plant the Tiny Seed is never the same book twice—no matter how many times you read it! And for curious young nature lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and animals featured in the book is included at the end.

A.M.'s Longest Journey


Book Description

Born in 1932, Giovanni Finzi-Contini is both a distinguished geophysicist and prize-winning poet and novelist. In this, his first published novel, he imaginatively reconstructs the history of his maternal grandfather's family in Ferrara from the emancipation of the Jews in newly united Italy to Fascist anti-Semitic persecution and the second world war. The elderly and frail Alberto Minerbi, who has escaped from a Fascist prison, is transported across Bologna on a cart, disguised as an old woman. As he goes, he recalls key episodes from his and his family's past in a series of vivid cinematic flashbacks, finally achieving peace of mind before his death.
