It’s time for one little seed to come out of his shell. But he’s afraid. It’s a big world out there. There may be dangers! (Like monsters!) There are definitely obstacles. (Like rocks!) And while there’s a good deal of uncertainty, he discovers that he has friends to help guide him on his way and root for him to have his day in the sun.
