THE MARVELOUS MUSTARD SEED

Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, Amy-jill Levine Margaux Meganck (Illustrator), Flyaway Books (APRIL) Hardcover $16 (40pp), 978-0-664-26275-4

A young girl and boy marvel at the transformation of a single ordinary seed into an enormous tree in an amazing journey of imagination and possibilities inspired by the New Testament parable of the mustard seed. The whole park blossoms in color alongside thoughtful commentary encouraging children to contemplate the incredible things that the tree will one day be capable of, from providing a home for birds and shade for families to producing medicines and spices.
