Be my sunflower / Kathryn Simmonds, Rosalind Beardshaw.

London : Walker Books and Subsidiaries, 2024.

35 unnumbered pages : chiefly illustrations (colour) ; 26 cm

Preschool.

The children are planting sunflowers at school and Carla gets given a seed called Vernon. All the other children's seeds are excited to get out of the packet and start growing. Not Vernon. He knows about slugs, and birds and thunderstorms. The world is scary. Carla waters him lovingly, but Vernon is the only seed that doesn't grow into a seedling. 'Safe and snug, snug and safe,' mutters Vernon, until he realizes how upset Carla is. Vernon understands that he needs to pluck up his courage, push himself out of the ground, and face the world.
