Paige and Paxton spend a day helping out Mama Puzzle at her florist shop. It's a chance for the siblings to get their hands dirty and gain a deeper understanding of something we see every day but may not think much about: plants.

What begins as a day of playful mischief soon grows into an exciting exploration of botany and photosynthesis. As Paige and Paxton discover how plants grow and flourish, young readers learn what botanists do, how photosynthesis works, and why plant life plays an important role in ecosystems.

Through whimsical storytelling and child-friendly explanations, complex scientific concepts become easy to understand. Since its publication in 2014, educators, scientists, and parents have praised the book for its explanation of photosynthesis, calling it a definition that “even a child can understand.”

Part of the STEM Adventures with Paige & Paxton series, this engaging adventure invites children to grow their understanding of science and inquiry through the childhood experiences of adorable puzzle piece characters who live, work, and play in the puzzle-shaped island nation of Puzzleland.
