Plants and Their Children

Originally published in 1896, bestselling author and naturalist Frances Theodora Parsons wanted to create a children'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 a plant's life throughout a child's school year, this children's botany guide is full of interesting details told in a sweet and friendly narration. Considered one of best children's books of its day, this guide will delight children, adults, and botanical enthusiasts alike.
