Miss Maple's Seeds

(4) K-3 Tree-dwelling Miss Maple collects orphan seeds in summer, teaches them "about being a seed," and releases them come springtime so they can "find roots of their own." The mood is twee ("Take care, my little ones, for the world is big and you are small"), but Wheeler is passionate and knowledgeable about her subject, as her peaceful, botanically abundant illustrations attest.
