Illustrated by
Eugene Yelchin.
With each poem featuring two distinct voices, Gerber subtly creates informative conversations between flowers, seeds, roots, bees, and other living things in this playful poetry book. Yelchin's graphite and gouache art, full of cool greens and electric yellows that pulsate off the pages, effectively captures the movement of the subject matter. A final page sums up the science behind the chatter.
