Why read it?

Nancy Castaldo and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to connecting kids and teens to the environment. In The Story of Seeds, she says, “It may sound crazy, even improbable, but there are scientists who are risking their lives every day for seeds.

Perfect for ages 12 and up.
From Patricia's list on nature to WOW! kids and teens.
