Tim and the Sleepy Seed

Small Beginnings Need Sunshine, Water, and Time

By R. Stanek (Robert Stanek)

About the story

Tim and Buster tuck a tiny seed into the soil at Garden Box Farms. Buster expects something green to appear immediately, but Tim knows that important changes can begin where no one can see them.

Day after day, the friends return with steady care and careful observations. When a small sprout finally emerges, Buster discovers that waiting does not mean nothing is happening—and that patient care can help living things thrive.
