If You Hold a Seed

(4) PS After planting a seed and making a wish, a young boy grows, as does the tree his seed becomes. The chocolate-box ending, with the wish revealed as the presumably now-adult boy sits in the tree with his son, reflects an adult sensibility rather than a child's. The illustrations, however, create the impression of 3-D shadow and light and may demand a second look.
