If You Hold a Seed by Elly MacKay

If You Hold a Seed
If You Hold a Seed by Elly MacKay is a beautiful book.  The pictures are stunning.  There is a short YouTube video describing how she makes the pictures and it is amazing the time and detail that she puts into each page.  It is the story of a small boy that plants a seed and watches it grow into a large tree.  As I read this book at school this week the kids enjoyed looking out the window to search for buds on trees and sprouts of flowers.  If You Hold a Seed is a nominee for this year's Blue Spruce Award.
