All the other children's seeds are excited to get out of the packet and start growing, but not Vernon. He knows about slugs and birds and thunderstorms. He knows that the world is scary--and though Carla waters him lovingly, to her dismay, Vernon is the only seed that doesn't grow into a seedling. Can Vernon drum up the courage to push himself out of the ground and face the world for Carla? This warm and reassuring story for young children who feel anxiety about a new chapter in their life, such as starting school, may help seed the realization that the satisfaction of new experiences is worth overcoming one's fears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathryn Simmonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536235431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536235432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2025","brand":"Kathryn Simmonds","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46807299981567,"sku":"9781536235432","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb18aeee-a8c0-4130-8f38-e8eac09704cb.jpg?v=1745379076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/be-my-brave-sunflower-kathryn-simmonds-9781536235432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
