“Of the many titles available on milkweeds and monarchs, this is one of the most accessible for youngsters reading on their own....while older readers and adults will appreciate the extensive backmatter....Useful and enlightening—and certain to have youngsters observing the natural world with wonder.”—Kirkus Reviews

A seed waits patiently until it is time to sprout—and as this milkweed transforms from seed to plant, so too does the butterfly it feeds. Award-winning author of Outside You Notice celebrates the life cycle of a milkweed, from seed to new buds to flower.

Two young children watch a milkweed grow in their backyard—from seed to new buds to flowers, the lyrical text explores the lifecycle of the milkweed.

Wait like a seed,
Cozy and small.
Wait like a seed
Til the spring rains fall.

Wait Like a Seed beautifully explores the life cycle of milkweed and its vital relationship to monarch butterflies. Complete with accurate botanical drawings and comprehensive back-matter detailing the life cycles of plants and butterflies, this timeless story is perfect for both school curriculums and curious children who enjoy nature.

Children will be inspired to help save the diminishing population of monarch butterflies in their own environment. This book combines the wonders of nature with poetic text and warm and welcoming art.

Award-winning author Erin Alladin invites young gardeners to celebrate the world around them in this rhyming nonfiction text. Illustrator Tara Anderson portrays lifecycles with a nostalgic style, effectively capturing the wonder of the aspiring gardeners.
