Buhrman-Deever delves into the world of pollen in this inquiry-based discussion of what happens “before the seed grows the green.”. . . Incorporating scans of ink and acrylic paint, Triplett and Curtius’s digital artwork features oversize visuals of flora and fauna alike. . . As further queries prompt examination of how plants ensure their pollen doesn’t go to waste, a “moving” scientific portrayal of interdependence emerges.

This lovely picture book describes how pollen travels around to make it possible for plants and flowers to create seeds. . . . This eye-catching title with its generous back matter (tips for protecting and helping pollinators, a diagram of flower parts, glossary, bibliography, and list of resources) comes just in time for spring.
