In the city of Verdana, every tree has been cut down and replaced with plastic ones - grey, silent, and scentless. Nobody alive remembers what real trees feel like. Nobody, except Grandma Ada, who has kept a secret for thirty years: the last real seed in the city.
When eleven-year-old Zain discovers the seed, he makes a promise - to plant it where the whole city can see. But the Garden Officers are watching. And growing things is against the law.
With the help of his fearless friend Priya and a group of young rebels called the Seedkeepers, Zain risks everything to bring nature back to a city that has forgotten how to breathe.
"Like the whole world is breathing."
A beautifully illustrated story about courage, hope, and the unstoppable power of one small seed. Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love nature, adventure, and children who change the world.
