Quick Summary
Stems pulls readers into the secret life of plants by turning everyday veggies into tiny marvels with bright, close-up photos and snappy, kid-friendly facts. Kids will love spotting the celery stalks, carrot tops, and broccoli florets they can see in their own kitchens, then experimenting to see how stems work like nature's pipelines.
