Description

Celebrate 75 years of The Carrot Seed with a new foreword from Caldecott Honor picture book creator Kevin Henkes! When a little boy plants a carrot seed, everyone tells him it won't grow. But when you are very young, there are some things that you just know, and the little boy knows that one day a carrot will come up. So he waters his seed, and pulls the weeds, and he waits... This beloved classic celebrates patience, determination, and believing in yourself. First published in 1945 and never out of print, the timeless combination of Ruth Krauss's simple text and Crockett Johnson's eloquent illustrations creates a triumphant and deeply satisfying story for readers of all ages.

Author Biography:

Ruth Krauss's beloved picture books include two Caldecott Honor Books, The Happy Day, illustrated by Marc Simont, and A Very Special House, illustrated by Maurice Sendak, as well as the perennial favourite A Hole Is to Dig, also illustrated by Mr. Sendak. Crockett Johnson first came to national prominence as the author and illustrator of the popular comic strip "Barnaby." Along with illustrating Ruth Krauss's The Carrot Seed and The Happy Egg, Crockett Johnson also created Harold and the Purple Crayon as well as six other adventures about the little boy and his magical crayon.
