# Seeds of Change - Hardcover

by **Nina Laden** (Author), **Sawyer Cloud** (Illustrator)

**From award-winning, bestselling author Nina Laden comes a poetic picture book about having the courage and resilience to plant "seeds" that will improve ourselves and our community.**

_Sow seeds of strength,  
Ride out the storm._

Sow seeds of compassion,  
Make hearts warm.  
  
After seeing an area in her local, Madagascar community devastated from drought, a young girl gets inspired. She should plant a garden--what could be more perfect? She gathers her friends, cooperates to make a plan, and gets to work. But when things go devastatingly wrong, what can they do?

It takes a lot of courage, but with the support of her whole community on her side, this girl won't give up. One way or another, she'll sow the seeds of change she's been dreaming of.

With sweet, lush art from Sawyer Cloud, this lyrical picture book about making the effort to invest in the future of ourselves and our community teaches an invaluable lesson about having the patience to see that, in time, effort will blossom into a more peaceful, loving, and accepting world.
