Description

A seed waits patiently until it is time to sprout—and as this milkweed transforms from seed to plant, so too does the butterfly it feeds. Award-winning author of Outside You Notice celebrates the life cycle of a milkweed, from seed to new buds to flower.

Two young children watch a milkweed grow in their backyard—from seed to new buds to flowers, the lyrical text explores the lifecycle of the milkweed.

Wait like a seed,
Cozy and small.
