Mae and the First Sprout

The first book in Mae's Garden Adventures — and the first thing Wilder Roots ever set out to make for other families.

Mae gets a tray, a handful of seeds, and one very simple instruction: water it, and wait. The waiting turns out to be the whole story. A gentle book about patience, paying attention, and the small thrill of the first green thing pushing up through the dark.

Illustrated in watercolor, sized for small hands, and built to be read at the end of a long day. The audiobook edition is read aloud and made to be listened to instead of a screen.
