Foreman, Michael The Seeds of Friendship. PICTURE BOOK.
Candlewick, 2015. $17.
Adam came from a world full of jungle and
animals, but now he lives in a gray, cold city.
First in winter, he makes friends through creative snow building. Then, at school, a little plot of garden
becomes, little by little, an ever-increasing world of color.
Foreman’s book is a little slice of hopeful and a look at a
small way to change a concrete jungle into a prettier world. While I think Foreman takes the dream to the
farthest extreme, it is a sweet dream that is realized every day in a community
garden or a rooftop plot of land.

My 4 year old liked this, but my autistic spectrum 19 year old LOVED it. (He functions at about a 4 year old level.) I think he enjoyed the changes that happen with almost constant sky-scrapers in the background. The illistrations are original and wonderful. Fun and very sweet book. Thanks Cindy!
