One seed. One prayer. A heart-wide adventure that begins in a garden and reaches the stars.
One Seed is a heartwarming cosmic folktale for ages 8 to 88 that sparks wonder, faith and belonging. Join young Gloriana "GiGi" Estrella Gonzalez and her extraordinary extraterrestrial abuela Dionisia as they traverse star-lit skies and backyard gardens, discovering the quiet power of faith, prayer, and patience. With the help of Sam, a mystical red-winged blackbird, this intergenerational duo plants a tiny mustard-seed of faith ... and watches patiently how love, hope, and spiritual growth move mountains within and beyond.
In this beautifully told tale of nurturing the seed of faith, GiGi and Abuela learn how one small act of trust blossoms into strong roots of mind, body, and spirit. Tender themes like cultural heritage, family bonds, cosmic connection, and miracles through patience weave throughout the story, making One Seed perfect for families, classrooms, small study groups, multicultural celebrations, and personal reflection alike.
If you're searching for a children's book about faith and growth, a folktale that blends mystical, science-fiction whimsy with grounded spiritual wisdom, or a story to share with grandparents and grandchildren, One Seed delivers. Discover how prayer becomes a gentle garden, how the tiniest seed of belief can change an entire lifetime, and how, when we nurture our inner faith, we can rise together.
Perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, and spiritual seekers, One Seed encourages meaningful conversations about inner transformation, intergenerational love, cultural identity, and the universal power of faith.
Embrace the adventure. Plant the seed. Grow together.
