Follow Lola on a beautifully illustrated journey, learning about how humans and plants are at once different and similar.
If Lola were a plant, she wouldn’t be a dog, a cat, a mouse, a penguin, a gnat or a hippopotamus, but she would still be alive and well.
In If I Were a Plant, Lola discovers that plants are the most numerous living beings on the planet. She also finds out how they get their food without being able to move and how they breathe despite not having a mouth or nose, along with many other things she never thought a plant could do.
A book for discovering unusual facts about plants and for looking at something you thought you knew with fresh eyes.
