How it begins
Grandma has a present for your child's name. It is very small. It is striped. It is a seed! "This seed wants to be a sunflower," says Grandma. "The tallest one you ever saw."
A seed needs a home in the soil. "Where shall we plant it?" asks Grandma. Their Pet runs to the fence and back again.
