The Growing We Cannot See: A Story About Patience, Change, and Growing Up.

By CM Graves

Growing takes time-even when we cannot see it happening.

Maya and Ben plant two tiny seeds and wait all day for something to happen. But the garden looks exactly the same. With Grandma's gentle wisdom, they discover that roots can be growing beneath the soil long before the first green shoot appears-and children grow in quiet ways too.

As the seasons pass, Maya and Ben learn that growing means more than getting taller. It happens when we learn something new, help someone else, recover after a difficult day, and keep trying.

Filled with warm watercolor illustrations, As We Grow is a reassuring read-aloud story about patience, resilience, kindness, change, and the wonderful progress happening inside every child.

Perfect for bedtime, classrooms, social-emotional learning, and family conversations about growing up. Includes a final reflection and drawing activity for young readers ages 4-8.
