"A cute, sentimental tale that will appeal to those who love The
Giving Tree"--School Library Journal Adults and children alike will
delight in this heartwarming and visually powerful picture book,
which shares a timeless story about love, connection, and finding
the courage to grow tall on one's own. Every year when the wind
blows, the tree's seeds sail away to a mysterious place-until one
little seed decides to stay. At first, the tree supposes the seed
should leave. How else would it grow roots to rise tall and strong?
But the tree is also lonely, and the mysterious place is far, far
away. Will the seed be safe on its own? Stay, Little Seed
celebrates the rhythms of the natural world and shares a gentle
message for all of us, no matter our age: Sometimes, by letting go
and being brave, we begin life's greatest adventures. "Careful
nurturing begets the launch into the unknown: Valentini celebrates
both as natural and fitting." -Kirkus Reviews "Both children and
adult readers will identify with [Stay Little Seed's] timeless
themes, from the joy in comforting familial bonds to the growth
that can only happen with independence." -Booklist "A charming and
quietly profound story, Stay, Little Seed encourages readers to be
courageous enough to let go and experience new adventures in life."
