Wildflowers don’t just happen, as is revealed in this bright, delight-filled board book about the interconnectedness, and interdependency, of nature’s tiniest features. Indeed, a field blanketed with poppies and daisies and heather begins somewhere whose loveliness is less obvious: in underground pockets of soil, around which creatures burrow and stir. From there, seeds have to fight their way toward the light, where little, smiling beings, from mice to bees, meet them and help them along. The eventual result is a triumph of color.
