One Seed - a children's story and song

"It took One Seed to make a difference!"
"One Seed" - a children's story and song written, illustrated and performed by Rosemary Phillips and "The Seeds".

The One Seed Video features the read-along story and sing-along song along with examples of the One Seed Kid's Art Gallery, some very important questions for children to answer about seeds, and examples of seeds as ideas: the Wright Brothers and the first plane; Alexander Graham Bell and the first telephone.

"One Seed" is the story (and song) about a seed that decided to grow on the desert when all the other seeds said it was impossible and couldn't be done. It is a story about courage, hope, being different, making a difference, and of course, about growing and seeds. It is a story that has been used in schools in several countries around the world as a play and for classroom and assemblies. It is excellent for Earth Day (April 22) and for assemblies on courage and hope, taking care of Planet Earth, and of course, about seeds.

"A simple story about life which children and adults the world over will treasure - and the seed will be sown in many a classroom and home..."
- Christine Carruthers - retired teacher, UK

"This little story... gently reminds us that the courage of one has deep and far-reaching impact."
- Sound Kamloops, Canada

Of course the best reviews are from the children, and from parents and grandparents who have to put the children's CD player in their rooms because they play the CD over and over and over again...

Thank you for your comment! I hope the children are enjoying it! And grown-ups! We just never know how far our 'seeds' go in this life, and how many people can be touched by what we do. For example, my song Little Candle (also on YouTube) was sung by 120 children in the Netherlands last week for Candle Night to raise awareness and funds for LCH, a form of children's cancer. I feel so honoured... You just never know...

Dear Seed... Ah, life... we all grow up... hopefully tall and strong like One Seed. My friend, keep on singing...

Very clever Rosemarie. Should be played by all parents with young children ...

Grand parents are ok too.

Watched it to end and enjoyed the children sing.

Excellent for baby sitters ... or the equivalent terminology today
