If you plant a carrot seed ...a carrot will grow. If you plant a lettuce seed ...lettuce will grow. But what happens if you plant a seed of kindness ...or selfishness? Beloved award-winning author-illustrator Kadir Nelson presents a resonant, gently humorous story about the power of even the smallest acts and the rewards of compassion and generosity.
