Synopsis

When Grandpa tells Polly he can perform 'slow magic' to turn seeds into something warm, Polly is eager to see the results. Together, they plant grass seeds, care for sheep, and patiently wait through the seasons. As time passes, Polly learns how nature's processes transform simple seeds into wool, which Granny then spins into a cosy jumper. This enchanting tale introduces children to the wonders of growth, change, and the rewards of patience.
