Whether it鈥檚 The Elephant鈥檚 Child or the big bang, children are

creation tale showing how plants evolved from cyanobacteria to today鈥檚 green
stuff, struggling with climate change and deforestation. While probably intended

and the pictures are exciting. I learned that plants give us oxygen to breathe.鈥�
