Fluffy, Flying Seed starts with a small dandelion seed being carried by the wind and landing safely in a meadow, the perfect place to grow. This is its story, how it grows, protects itself, reproduces and transforms from a bright yellow flower into a delicate white ball of fluffy, flying seeds. There are facts about germination, photosynthesis, seed dispersal, parts of a plant and food chains. The narrative progresses in a way that builds understanding and the gorgeous illustrations bring the story and the science to life.
Fluffy, Flying Seed is part of the Start Small, Think Big, a series of books that sets young readers on a journey of discovery, beginning with small miracles of life and connecting them to the big picture of our natural world. The stories are easy to read and told in a warm, engaging, relatable way. At the end, there is a surprise fold-out with a world map, an illustrated lifecycle and an animal I-Spy game to take readers back into the book.
