Planting Good Seeds

A gentle elephant walks into a town where no one smiles and gives three frowning farmers a single seed each, promising a good fruit tree to any who plant, water, and care for it. One farmer seeks out wisdom, follows a bird's counsel to prune his tree, and weathers a storm that topples the others. In warm rhyme and bright art, this picture book teaches children that the seeds we plant through kind words, and deeds grow into fruit that blesses everyone.

• Rooted in Proverbs 13

Perfect for a parent, grandparent, or Primary teacher looking for a gentle rhyming picture book that teaches children about listening to wise counsel and the good fruit of kindness.

A Waldorf graduate and a Top Ten National Poetry winner in the 2019 poetry contest held by Creative Communication, this is his first published book! He enjoys writing, reading, and too many variations of music, art, and science to count. He enjoys both finding, and placing, the deeper meaning behind a story, but just enjoys a good, relaxing tale too. He hopes you will find both of those things within this book.
