Mihir Shah of the US Review of Books commended “Little Seed” by Kelley Browne-Reynolds.
Kelley Browne-Reynolds is from Omaha, Nebraska, but spent her summers on her family farm in Missouri. She is a nature lover and spends as much time as possible trekking through the woods with her husband Harold and their dogs.
She is a mother to three spectacular children and has dedicated herself to becoming the best version of herself so that she can be the best mother to them.
“Little Seed” by Kelley Browne Reynolds is a touching tale of growth, friendship, and finding one’s place. When Little Seed is carried to an unfamiliar world, she feels lost and alone.
Here is an excerpt of the review:
“The author’s ability to create a simplified storytelling structure with easy, engaging characters to follow, chiefly Little Seed and The Worm, allows younger kids to invest themselves in the characters and attempt to model the actions of these characters in their own lives. Further, the writing style itself has a rhythmic cadence that feels more lyrical, even poetic, using elements of enjambment and repetition to create rhythm. Above all else, whether in the classroom, the library, or at the bedside, the author’s children’s book is well suited for younger kids beginning to understand their sense of self and learning to integrate themselves in an elementary school setting.”
