The Seedling That Didn't Want to Grow - Hardcover Picture Book jewelry Holding her in his armsWritten & illustrated by Britta Teckentrup This story about a reluctant seedling packs a powerful message about the benefits of being different. It's early spring and below the earth's surface seeds are just starting to sprout. One by one they stretch through the dirt and towards the sun, extending their shoots and leaves and growing tall. All except for one seedling, who isn't quite ready. Each page of this gentle but powerfully evocative book
