It starts
with a seed. Just one seed. A carrot seed planted in the ground by a little
boy. Despite the dire predictions of his mother, his father and his big brother
that “it won’t come up,” the little boy firmly believes that the seed will
sprout and grow. He weeds it and waters it. He exhibits amazing patience. And
indeed it grows. Ruth Krauss and Crockett Johnson’s classic storybook The Carrot Seed is a gem, perfect in its
simplicity and beloved by little people. It’s all about faith and hope and the
patience to sustain them. Ideal for preschoolers and their adults.
