Sprout shares a young boy's journey to fill the pages of "his life's story" journal. Combining fairy tale elements, humor, and philosophical wisdom, Richard Gleason weaves a lovely story sure to capture both children and adults. I absolutely loved the underlying messages in this book. While Sprout will definitely entertain little kids, parents can utilize many quotes from this book as prompts to begin thought-provoking conversations with their children. (Sprout contains a study guide and a glossary.) Congratulations to Richard's family for republishing this amazing story!
