(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Cordell. Readers are told "I am NOT coming out!" by a seed that's afraid to send out its shoots. Encouraged by a friendly worm and other underground animals, the seed tentatively begins to grow. The theme is universally relatable, and the book has clever gatefolds and orientation shifts that will engage readers. Cordell's illustrations pair wonderfully with the upbeat, occasionally rhyming text.
