"Early one spring morning, a little seed woke
up after her long winter sleep. She yawned
and stretched. With a loud CRACK her hard
brown jacket fell away. "Oh!" said the surprised
seed. The earth above felt warm."
... this was just the beginning of big changes to come.
The colorful illustrations in this book are made by
the author from dyed wool fibers, felted together to
create a solid piece of "fabric." She employed a
technique known as "dry," or "needle," felting,
which requires a small hand tool called a felting
needle with barbs along the shaft to catch the fibers
as it pierces the surface of the wool and binds them
together. Jan describes the experience as
"painting with a needle."
(Ages 3-5).
