Children are the SEEDS of the future on
Planet Earth
"It took one seed to make a diff'rence!"

It has been a challenging year around the world, for everyone, with the global pandemic. And still there is a feeling of HOPE.
Today, November 25, 2020, I received this wonderful e-mail and couldn't wait to post this work of art in the One Seed Kids' Art Gallery.
"Dear Rosemary, Hello! Recently my daughter (5) read and heard the beautiful 'One Seed' story and she really loved it. Thank you so much. Nitya wanted me to send you her artwork that she made, after she heard the story, to be posted on your website. Many thanks, Ami."
Thank you Ami for sending this along. And thank you Nitya for creating such a beautiful drawing!

A surprise E-mail arrived on June 5th, 2018, from Mrs. Jane Lloyd, Grade 1 teacher at St. Peter's Primary School in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Canada. Such wonderful works of art, 22 in all. Mrs. Lloyd mentioned their names are on the backs of the art, so I am not able to include them. But then, I'm sure the students will recognize their own handiwork! Thank you Mrs. Lloyd for sending them along, and thank you students for your creativity and your beautiful visions of the One Seed story and song!

For EARTH DAY 2018, I was invited to John A Hutton Elementary School in my home town of Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada, to present One Seed on Monday, April 23. Mason Galloway, a Grade 1 student, had won a performance in a draw last Christmas and he and his mother chose to have it for his class. Said teacher, Tammy Jacobs, "What a wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day!"
I spent time with each of the two classes as the children carefully created their masterpieces. What a joy!
Thank you Mason, teachers, and all the students for these wonderful drawings.

In May 2015 I received a package of drawings from students at the Art Smith Aviation Academy in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada. The enclosed note says: "For Earth Day our whole primary division learned the One Seed song and created these pictures for your gallery. Thank you for your story and song."

There are 107 drawings, so I have had to make them a bit smaller for the gallery. There were a number of names I was unable to read, and please forgive me if I have some of the names wrong. And some had no names. THANK YOU staff for sending along these creations and helping making a difference in these children's lives and in the world.

Natalia adds, Three years ago I had already worked on your web resources with students who are now in fifth grade, and they still remember the song and the story!!!! We are also performing a drama play about the story and I will send you some pictures of the play.
My students have done their best to draw these pictures of One Seed and will be delighted to see them on the kids art gallery. They were so excited when I told them that their pictures would be soon posted on the Art Gallery... You have made them so happy!
THANK YOU Natalia - and Alex, Adriana LV, Adriana SJ, Iris, Lucas, Maria, Mariola and Sofia - for sending along such colourful and creative works of art. May you all grow strong like One Seed. - with much gratitude, Rosemary, May 21, 2014.

Natalia Apariz, teacher of English as a second language, sent this note on May 26, 2015 - Once again, I am writing to you from Pontevedra (Spain) to send you the drawings my second graders created after listening to your fabulous One Seed story. As every year, they have fallen in love at first sight with the story and the song. Every May my classroom is filled with the catchy sound of the One Seed song; and the drawings of One Seed growing in the desert are displayed on the walls. Also, this year, in my drama lessons I will perform the story with my students. They are excited with the idea of becoming a seed, so I have a difficult decision to make...who will be the ONE SEED? Castings are starting soon!
I know that many students all over the world dream of seeing their drawings in the One Seed art gallery so I am just sending some because all of them want to be the one.
On behalf of my students I want to thank you for this fantastic story that talks about self-determination and the importance of following one's dreams, no matter how hard they are.
