You all! This book is an experience! I listened to the audio production while reading a physical copy with illustrations. You'll miss out if you only do one or the other! I didn't expect a story of two sycamore seed siblings to be so epic. I'm rarely emotionally moved by a book, but this one did it! 🙌🏼

When Best Of lists come out at the end of the year, I try to read as many of the top children‘s books as I can get my hands on, just to see how things have changed since I was a kid. I‘ve read most of Selznik‘s books, but this one, following sibling seeds Melvin and Louise as they try to save the world in a planty seedy way - is by far my favorite. He tossed the idea around w/ Spielberg for a movie, but then the pandemic hit. A science-y delight!

Fabulous, as always! What a wonderful message (and I found myself quite taken with the W.S. Merwin poem at the end). I gasped at the introduction of the Giants and the description of the creation of Earth and the moon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly sentimental tale of two seed siblings and their quest to find a safe place to grow into trees.

Enjoying the latest BookPage this evening. Very interested in the new Selznick (tagged). Also looking forward to Rachel Beanland‘s The House Is on Fire. I really enjoyed her previous, Florence Adler Swims Forever. You Know Her by Meagan Jennett, a “crackerjack debut thriller” about a female serial killer that you‘ll be rooting for, also caught my eye.

Aims42 Oh man, I added a bunch of library holds after reading last month‘s issue. Hold me back! Lol 😆 2y
