Story Hike
A Seed is Sleepy
by Diana Aston illustrations by Sylvia Long
This gorgeous book from award winning artist Sylvia Long and author Dianna Hutts Aston offers children a beautiful and informative look at the intricate, complex, and often surprising world of seeds. Poetic in voice and elegant in design, the book introduces children to a fascinating array of seed and plant facts, making it perfect reading material at home or in the classroom.
Hike and read at the same time! Our Story Hike is placed along the Beaver Pond Trail. Start at the entrance circle and head up the hill past the Nature Play Area to read the story. The Beaver Pond Trail is about 1/2 mile long, and is paved.
