Book of the month

From tiny seeds to massive trees, plants come in all different shapes and sizes. They can be found all over the world. In fact, they’re so common, we hardly notice them at all. But plants are the foundation of all life on Earth – without them, we cannot survive! They provide food and medicine, clean the air we breathe and provide habitats for animals. But plants are threatened by humans and so this book is going to show you how YOU can help to save them, too!
