Watch the Bean Grow

Reach for this book when your child starts asking where their food comes from or notices the tiny green shoots popping up in a neighborhood garden. It is an ideal first introduction to the life cycle of a plant, designed specifically for children who are just beginning to master the mechanics of reading. Through high-quality photography and simple, rhythmic text, the book demystifies the biological process of a bean seed transforming into a living plant. Beyond the science, this guide quietly nurtures emotional skills like patience and observation. It encourages children to slow down and appreciate the small, incremental changes that happen in the natural world. For parents, it serves as a bridge between a hands-on activity like planting a seed and the abstract concept of growth, making it a perfect companion for a weekend gardening project or a first-time classroom science lesson.
