Where Strength Begins is a gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book about a tiny seed's quiet journey beneath the earth.

Long before anyone sees a single leaf, the seed is already growing — searching for water, reaching through soil, building strength no one can see. Through 18 warm, painterly garden illustrations, this story follows the seed's path from darkness to bloom, showing that the most important growth often happens where no one is looking.
