If animals have life cycles, does that mean that plants do too? Yes! This colorful graphic novel follows the life cycle of a tiny seed all the way to a fruiting tree. Students will learn how different plants reproduce and grow in different climates. They'll be introduced to pollination, travelling seeds, germination, conifers, and more. Detailed diagrams help readers understand the different processes plants experience in a typical life cycle. Readers will also come to understand how changes in plant life cycles may affect other living things, including humans. They will also meet Norman Borlaug, an agricultural scientist who used his knowledge of plant life cycles to increase crop harvests. Readers can participate in the Rooting Roots activity to witness a plant's life cycle firsthand. You can explore more of the lives of plants and animals by checking out the Building Blocks of Animals and Plants series!
