Plant the Tiny Seed (2017), written and illustrated by Christie Matheson, follows the growth of a garden from a single tiny seed. The story begins with the reader being invited to take part - tapping, clapping, and blowing on the pages to help the seed grow. As the pages turn, rain falls, the sun shines, and the seed begins to sprout. Slowly, green leaves emerge, flowers bloom, and butterflies and bees appear among the colorful petals. The book shows the step-by-step process of a plant’s life, from seed to flower, following the rhythms of weather and time. Each scene adds to the garden’s growth, showing how small actions and natural forces work together to bring the plants to life and fill the page with color and movement.
