Seeds of Change

Seeds of Change

After stumbling on an area in her Madagascar community devastated by drought, a young girl gets inspired. She gathers her friends and makes her case. They discuss, cooperate, and plan. Everyone has a different idea to contribute, and collaboration leads to the best idea of all. A garden! But when things go devastatingly wrong, what can they do? It takes a lot of courage, but with the support of her whole community, this girl will sow the seeds of change she’s been dreaming of. With sweet, vibrant art from Sawyer Cloud, this rhyming, lyrical picture book about making the effort to invest in the future of ourselves and our community teaches an invaluable lesson about having the patience to see that, in time, effort will blossom into a more peaceful and loving world.
