Plant the Tiny Seed by Christie Matheson is a charming interactive picture book for young children. With a playful and engaging approach, the book introduces children to the magical journey of a tiny seed as it grows into a beautiful flower, inviting them to become part of the story along the way.
The story begins with the planting of a tiny seed, and young readers are encouraged to help it grow by pressing, tapping, wiggling, clapping, and jiggling the pages. With water, sunlight, and a little patience, the seed begins to sprout and eventually blossoms into a vibrant garden. As the garden comes to life, children meet bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and even a hungry little snail.
Matheson’s illustrations beautifully combine collage and watercolour, becoming brighter and more colourful as the garden flourishes. Alongside the interactive storytelling, the book gently introduces children to seeds, flowers, and the fascinating creatures that make a garden their home.
