The story that comes alive
Willsow
Willsow is billed as the world’s first plantable children’s book. The company says: ‘Willsow books are the first of their kind. Never have you been able to read a book, plant a page and grow real vegetables, meaning you can meet the main character!’
Each book is embedded with roughly 500 non-GMO vegetable or herb seeds (in the cover pages), which means they can be torn off and planted to grow the main character of each book. The range features five different books, with each story benefiting from a deeper message, while also promoting sustainability.
