The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss

Ruth Krauss' The Carrot Seed is a tiny book that speaks volumes about faith, hope and persistence. It is among the many stories my husband and I have read to our little girl. It's supposedly a classic, though I had not previously heard of it. Read it to your children if they're very young, or let them read it to you. Even we adults can learn from and enjoy the simplest of reading pleasures.
