Holy smokes! A starred review from SLJ!
"Highly recommended . . . explains how a carbon atom that is now in a human might once have been in the body of a dinosaur. That's a story young readers will want to know."

A surprising story about a global seed vault where over 580 million seeds from around the world are preserved safely in the permafrost. This beautifully illustrated book is intriguing and informative. With connections to both SCI and SS, this book belongs in every school library.
