Then a little green shoot starts to grow. Grace and her neighbour plant a mystery seed.
‘Polly likes these stripy seeds,’ Grace said. Grace’s Mystery Seed is about a garden but digging a bit deeper, the readers will not only discover what hides in the pages but how friendships are formed and community is built. He was right this single thought of spreading seeds of kindness and watching them grow has created an abundance of connections, sense of community, friendships and happiness. The seeds have been shared with people of all different ages and from various walks of life. The famous writer had made one final request to collect the seeds and distribute them to others. One day, there was a bud and finally the mystery seed was revealed. It passed my knees, then my hips and reached my shoulder. I planted the seedling and watched it grow. I had never been a gardener before and wondered how I would manage this task. The famous writer gifted his students with seedlings to care for and grow. This fondness occurred when I was at a writing masterclass. Grace’s Mystery Seed was inspired by my love of gardens. In March, my first picture book Grace’s Mystery Seedhit bookshops. I’m pinching myself, as my dream has become a reality. My belief was and still is that learning is forever, no matter our age. Being a primary teacher this is what I loved to do.
