Plants and Their Children

Originally published in 1896, bestselling author and naturalist Frances Theodora Parsons, writing under her married name, wanted to create a "childr's reading book" designed to help children develop their reading skills while learning all about plants and developing a "lifelong interest in nature." Full of intricate sketches and illustrations and designed to follow plant's lives throughout a child's school year, this children's botany guide is full of interesting details told through a sweet and friendly narration. Listed as one of the 50 best children's books of its day, this guide is a delight for modern learners, readers, and botanical enthusiasts.
