Seed by Seed: The Legend and Legacy of John "Appleseed" Chapman

With one small seed every day, what good will you plant in the world? Johnny Appleseed—an American folk hero—changed our nation seed by seed, deed by deed. This book challenges readers to follow the five footsteps John Chapman left behind: use what you have; share what you have; respect nature; try to make peace when there is war; you can reach your destination by taking small steps.
