Discover the superpowers of plants and learn to grow your own green companions

This beautifully illustrated guide celebrates 15 remarkable plants and fungi, each with extraordinary abilities that have shaped our world. From everyday herbs to exotic species, children will discover fascinating connections – did you know the humble tomato is related to deadly nightshade? Or that lettuce was the first plant grown in space?

Written by horticulturalist Rizaniño Reyes, each chapter reveals a plant's surprising history, remarkable relatives, and life-changing powers. Step-by-step growing instructions make it easy to nurture your own plants, whether you have a sprawling garden or just a sunny windowsill. Sara Boccaccini Meadows' stunning watercolour illustrations bring each botanical hero to life with rich detail and vibrant colour.

Created by Magic Cat Publishing as part of their acclaimed 'In Our Nature' series, this hardback treasure combines scientific accuracy with the joy of discovery, making it the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of plants for curious young gardeners.
