As with all of Portis's books, natural science is served sunny-side up, without a word out of place, in this essential guide."--School Library Journal, Starred Review

★ "Employing spare language and sunny, stippled multimedia spreads that belie their quiet complexity, Portis gracefully traces a sunflower's cycle from seed to sprout to plant--and back again. . . It's a volume almost as jam-packed as a seed itself."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
