Tumble, written and illustrated by Adriana Hernández Bergstrom, tells a visual story of a tumbleweed’s journey.
The illustrations are the highlight
here where the minimalist rhyming text (only about 25 words) provide a concise
summary of the action. The narrative traces the tumbleweed through growing and
flowering to the moment it breaks free to scatter seed as it races before the
wind.
Following the story is a double page spread with names and images of plants and animals that share the habitat of tumbleweeds. An additional page provides more facts and a step-by-step illustration of the tumbleweed’s lifecycle.
The simplicity of word and picture makes this a perfect book for young readers and an excellent introduction to a study of this unique plant.
