From seed to sunflower

A classroom planting project gives this picture book a clear framework for exploring how sunflowers grow. Young readers encounter the stages from seeds and seedlings to buds and blooms, along with the practical care involved in growing plants. Rain and hungry deer introduce the possibility that the seedlings may face challenges, while the final harvest connects one sunflower to the many seeds it can produce. Ellen Heck’s oil paintings on brown paper illustrate the life cycle from a child’s perspective. The book also lends itself to simple nature projects at home or in the classroom.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children beginning to learn about plants and how they grow
  • Families or educators seeking a picture book to pair with a sunflower-growing activity
