One Child, One Seed: A South African Counting Book

A counting book to widen the horizons, packed with information about the life and culture of South Africa.

“One child, one seed.
Two hands to plant the seed.
Three ways to help it grow.”

Cultivating, sharing, preparing. Starting with a single seed in a child’s hand and leading right through to a warm, nourishing meal (with plenty for all), this colorful book offers up a satisfying story of the fruits of a communal effort.

So play a simple counting game. Watch a pumpkin grow. Follow young Nothando and discover the rhythms of her daily life in this vivid portrait of one child, one seed, and the South African village in which they both thrive.
