A little seed snapped up by a bird takes off into the air and travels a long way before being wrapped up in a small white envelope and finally planted in the ground. The forest welcomes and surrounds it as it develops from seed to sprout to seedling, growing all the time.
The life a seed as the days and seasons pass, changing its name from plant to shrub to, at last, tree. All around it, nature does its thing: sun and storms, forest creatures, old trees falling and new ones rising. Mathias Friman poetically illustrates nature's eternal cycle. His realistic, black-and-white art is enlivened by the bright green of the seed whose story we are following.
