Beautiful Illustrations submitted by Enzy on April 10, 2014, 4:49pm Again and again what draws me to picture books are the colorful and creative illustrations. I always try to kid myself that I appreciate a well told story geared towards young readers. But no, in reality, I just like good pictures. "If You Hold a Seed" is no exception. I pulled it off the shelf because the colors on the spine were particularly captivating and I was not disappointed.

As much as I love good illustrations, I was pleased that it was not just a mediocre story with wonderful pictures. The story itself is beautiful and I felt as though the vivid colors and soft of the illustrations worked well with the text. It reminded me of Il Sung Na's books. So if you are a fan of "A Book of Sleep" and "Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit," you should read "If You Hold a Seed."
