Through the story of Vernon, a sunflower seed who is too worried about slugs and storms to sprout, the book gently explores the physical and emotional weight of anxiety. It validates a child's fear of the unknown while showing how the warmth of a friend's care can provide the safety needed to take a risk. It is a tender, low-pressure way to discuss the bravery required to simply show up and start.
