Review:

What is your definition of a bad seed? It is someone who doesn’t listen, or talks during the movie? What could make someone a bad seed?

In this story a little seed was pointed at and talked about every where he went. The little seed was bad because he stared, glared and finished everyone’s sentences. But, that wasn’t all. He did remember a time when he wasn’t bad. This was a time when he was with his family of seeds in a sunflower. Something had changed and the flower petals drooped and the seeds went into a dark place. What do you think happened to the little seed after that?

Author Jory John has created a simple story with a simple message. Beginner readers will find this story to be a quick and easy read. Basic illustrations depict the characters in an expressive way. Parents and teachers can use this as a guide to teach kindness and a better understanding of how we can all change.
