Seed by Seed by Esme Raji Codell illustrated by Lynne Rae Perkins

"The Legend and Legacy of John "Appleseed" Chapman

The book starts with two children overlooking a city and then it slowly transports them back to the time Johnny Appleseed lived.
Ms. Codell focuses on four lessons we can learn from him.
The artwork is an interesting mixture: watercolor/gouache, embroidery, woodcarvings, burlap and secondhand book pages.
An unique Johnny Appleseed book!
Ms. Codell also gives creative activities to do as one celebrates Johnny Appleseed on his birthday, Sept. 26th.  Visit Ms. Codell's website  www.planetesme.com for lots of book recommendations and activities to encourage reading.
