Seeds and Trees by Kristen and Kevin Howdeshell, Brandon Walden
5.0
“Be careful what you water, for it will surely grow.”
I often admire children’s books for being light-hearted and fun. This book very cleverly disguises an important discussion within its pages though, one that might even be therapeutic for adults. I hope parents near and far will read “Seeds and Trees” to their children and be moved by the message themselves.
We often take words to heart, whether they are good or bad, and typically we ruminate over those words in our minds. The bad seeds take root very quickly and often are the hardest words to uproot and stop fixating on. Learning how to do this is important, and though this book doesn’t necessarily share how to uproot the bad seeds in real life, it does open the conversation for you to have with your kiddos on how to do so.
