Little Curiosities: Travelling Seeds is a charming, easy-to-understand exploration of how seeds find their way across the world—through wind, water, gravity, animals, and even fire. The book breaks down each method of seed dispersal in a way that’s accessible and fun, with bright illustrations that really make the concepts stick. I especially enjoyed learning how some plants use explosions to scatter their seeds—it’s such a wild, unexpected strategy that made me smile. This book made me look at something as simple as a dandelion in a whole new light.
