Who says plants can\u2019t move? After the success of Il favoloso viaggio delle piante <\/em>(The Fabulous World of Plants), which won the 2024 Ibby Italian Choice award, the world-renowned plant scientist Stefano Mancuso and the internationally acclaimed Italian illustrator Philip Giordano have joined forces again to tell the astonishing story of the most enigmatic living beings on Earth\u2014starting with their remarkable ability to travel, generation after generation, to far-flung destinations.<\/p>\n

With their exceptional talent for storytelling, the authors tell an exciting and adventurous scientific tale, in which seeds take centre stage in epic journeys across space and time, carried by animals around the world. Their adventures are truly amazing: they hitch rides on trains, sail across the seas, and are propelled by explosions, or even swallowed by mastodons! Against all odds, they endure the harshest conditions\u2014sometimes lying underground while atomic bombs explode above.<\/p>\n

Il favoloso viaggio delle piante <\/em>is an enthralling read, brought to life by vivid illustrations. Beyond its entertainment value, the book sparks curiosity in young readers, encouraging them to explore the wonders of nature, science, and our connection to the planet. This is the view of a botanist who thirty years ago was interested in plants as \u201cintelligent\u201d beings, and who is now rated by The New Yorker <\/em>as a \u201cworld changer\u201d. <\/p>\n
