When I Grow Up
Written by Bella and Illustrated by Neil
At first I am a small seed. I live in the dirt. When I am small I soak up water and break open. I start to grow roots. My roots will grow down into the ground. My roots are very important because they get water and vitamins from the soil to help me grow. I will grow taller and pop out of the ground. Now I will grow taller and taller. My leaves start to grow. My leaves help me catch more water and sunlight. I make food using energy from the sun. As an adult I can grow flowers or fruit. Then I will make my own new seeds and drop them into the ground to start growing.
