About this book

The Man Who Planted Seeds is based on the original story written by French writer Jean Giono, entitled "The Man Who Planted Hope and Grew Happiness." This universal and timeless story, adapted for young audiences, is told through the eyes of a boy and recounts his encounter with a mysterious man and his simple but compelling mission. Ethereal watercolors and elegant language blend to illustrate how one person's humble devotion to a singular purpose can change the world. Written in English for children ages 9 to 14.
