A gorgeous, captivating exploration of nature’s ingenuity, this volume offers fascinating details, facts, and lore of seeds from around the world. Perfect for both young and adult readers curious about the natural world, this celebration of life and growth combines scientific accuracy with artistic beauty.
This stunning volume serves as an illustrated herbarium, a work of popular science, and an art book, all in one. It beautifully showcases the incredible diversity and miraculous properties of nearly 150 seeds from across the globe.
Each page features a single seed, brought to life through exquisite illustrations that capture its intricate details and unique characteristics.

The book features brief, engaging texts that explain how nature has perfectly designed each seed for its specific role.
Readers will encounter the brilliant green spiral of the alfalfa seed, which scatters far and wide when grown in the wild. They will find new fascination in familiar seeds like the sugar maple’s jewel-like propellers and the wild carrot’s dome of tiny white flowers.
