'Polly likes these stripy seeds,' Grace said. 'What are they from?'
Let's find out,' said Mrs Marino.
"Grace's Mystery Seed was inspired by my love of something in a garden," Juliet says. "Years ago, a famous writer gave me a seed to plant. I had never been a gardener and was wondering how I would manage to do this task. I enjoyed caring for this seedling and this is where the inspiration for Grace's Mystery Seed started."
Grace's Mystery Seed is a delightful story about two friends from very different generations who come together over their love of the garden and their wonder over the mystery seed. The book is aimed at children from 4-9 years of age and will strongly appeal to their wonder and curiosity about the mystery seed.
