Have you ever wondered how leaves breathe?
Join Lenny, a curious little leaf, as he discovers one of nature's most amazing secrets! With the help of the wise Professor Owl, Lenny learns that every healthy leaf breathes through tiny openings called stomata, takes in carbon dioxide, uses sunlight and water to make food for the tree, and releases the oxygen that helps people and animals live.
Written in a fun, easy to understand story.
How Leaves Breathe introduces young readers to the fascinating science of photosynthesis and plant respiration through lovable characters and beautiful pastel illustrations.
Perfect for curious minds, this engaging picture book encourages children to explore nature, ask questions, and appreciate the incredible teamwork happening in every tree around them.
