In the vein of Jon Klassen’s I Want My Hat Back.

"A juicy premise...Pizzoli legitimizes childish anxieties but also slyly exaggerates each worry to highlight the humor" —The New York Times

Have you ever swallowed a seed?

With bold colour and beautiful sense of design, Greg Pizzoli’s picture book debut takes this familiar childhood worry and gives us a true gem in the vein of I Want My Hat Back.
