I love the different levels of this book. On one hand, it's a story about friendship and learning to accept those who are different than you. On the other hand, it's about seeds and what benefits can come from planting them. There are so many ways this book can be used. I first thought about using it during a unit on plants and how they grow to bring up the importance of why we need to plant seeds. Then I thought about keeping it in the class library all year as a reminder to be a good friend and talk about stuff when it bothers you.
