Purchase options and add-ons
2025 UPDATE: A Place to Grow continues to be featured in Learn, Grow, Eat & GO! (LGEG)--the innovative new evidence-based curriculum project of the International Junior Master Gardener® Program. LGEG grows good kids through an interdisciplinary program combining academic achievement, gardening, nutrient-dense food experiences, physical activity, and school and family engagement.
"But I'm not like other seeds. I'm a floater, not a grower."
"You are a grower," whispered the Wind, "because that's what seeds do--they grow."
No matter where it lands or how desperately it hopes, the tiny seed can't find a place to grow. Will the tiny seed ever find a home, or will it keep searching and floating forever?
Together, the book's universal story, lyrical cadence and intriguing perspectives vividly convey the inspiring journey of a tiny seed navigating its way through a very big world.
With playful charm and touching insight, A Place to Grow joyfully affirms that there is a special place, plan and purpose for each of us.

About the authors

Children’s book author and illustrator Kelly Murphy grew up in the swamps of southern New England, so it’s no mystery why mystical and dark things still have a strong hold on her.
In 2009 Kelly Murphy earned an E.B. White Read Aloud Award for illustrating the New York Times Best Seller Masterpiece, and has enjoyed with working with stellar authors such as Richard Peck, Dave Eggers, Jane Yolen, J. Patrick Lewis, Robert San Souci, and R.L. LaFevers. On the side of these numerous and versatile creative achievements, Kelly has engaged in a lasting involvement with art education and is currently a member of the illustration faculty at her alma mater, the Rhode Island School of Design.
Although she is a night owl, you can occasionally find Kelly exploring local flora and fauna with her husband and fellow author/illustrator Antoine Revoy and her four legged companions, Lily, Mama, and Matryoshka. Please visit www.kelmurphy.com to see more of her books and projects.
