New Arrival: Picture Book: If You Plant a Seed, Kadir Nelson

If You Plant a Seed
Kadir Nelson
ISBN: 9780062298898
Read July 18, 2016

Sweet but a smidge preachy book using gardening as an extended parable about getting along and spreading peace, not hate.  I'm keeping this one back with me, and it's going to be in my first post-summer-reading storytime, because I've been saddled with a garden this year, and it's been really interesting, and I think placing this book with a set on gardening will make it seem a lot less moralistic.  It really is beautiful.  Nelson is an amazing artist.
