Associations and the Ripple Effect

Smooth The Path

One of my favorite picture books as a little kid was “ Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo.” If I remember the story right, it went a little something like this: a little beetle sneezes and the force of the sneeze makes a seed from a nearby plant pop off a branch.
