Animal Tales: The Reason for a Flower

Our Park Naturalists and volunteers come to your local library each month to share a story about a native animal and lead a craft or activity. These programs are FREE to attend and are most appropriate for preschool to upper elementary age children. Advance registration is required by contacting your library.  

December: The Reason for a Flower by Ruth Heller 

Discover the amazing world of seeds and pollination with The Reason for a Flower. Featuring bright illustrations and a simple text, each page walks you through the journey of a seed and explains the important parts of a flower, of germination, of food-based plants, and more! The reason for a flower is to manufacture seeds, but Ruth Heller shares a lot more about parts of plants and their functions in her trademark rhythmic style.
