Aston’s books on eggs and seeds have won dozens of starred reviews and awards, including:
AN EGG IS QUIET
From Kirkus
Starred Review. “…this engrossing album pairs images of dozens of precisely detailed eggs and their diverse wild parents to basic facts presented in neatly hand-lettered lines…. A delight for budding naturalists of all stripes, flecks, dots and textures.”
A SEED IS SLEEPY
From School Library Journal, Starred Review.
“This introduction to seeds and plants uses simple sentences that will stretch children’s minds and imaginations….a wonderful addition to units that focus not only on seeds and plants, but also on writing and the language arts.”
