Review
An inspiring book that brings to the forefront the challenging situation facing seeds on our planet. Seeds are in crisis and this book does an excellent job providing information on the loss of plant biodiversity and why it a is huge global problem.
Photographs and helpful call-out are used frequently throughout the eight short chapters. The clear and concise writing provides in-depth information, making this book a helpful reference book for research. The book ends on a hopeful note with a useful call to action section that offers suggestion on what the reader can do to make a difference.
Backpages include Seed Resource section, Additional Resource section, Glossary, Author's Note, Sources, Timeline and Index. A strong addition to both public and school library collections.
Overall Book Score: very good
