You Are a Plant

About the Book

Plants have specific needs. They require nutrients, water, and other things that keep them alive and healthy. You’re the same! You also need specific things to help foster your growth and well-being. Plants need sunshine, and you do too! Sunshine can provide energy and joy. Plants get exercise by dancing in the wind. How do you get your daily exercise? Just like plants, you also need water and a balanced diet to keep you strong and nourished. Of course, it’s not all play. Plants need rest and time to breathe; you should take time to slow down and appreciate the world around you. Remember, you are just like a plant, so what did you do today to help yourself grow?
