In spring, the vacant lot is filled with all sorts of grasses. The grasses are competing for space on the ground. They huddle together, spreading their leaves and stretching their stems with all their might. If they dawdle, they'll lose to the other grasses. In summer, the summer grasses begin to grow at an incredible rate. In autumn, the grasses drop their seeds and wither. The weeds, which seem to grow as they please, are actually engaged in a fierce struggle for survival. A picture book that gently and sharply depicts the weeds' struggle to survive. No cover. This is a used book that a child has read, so please understand that there may be stains and other imperfections before purchasing.
