When Little Chipmunk wakes from his long winter sleep, it is springtime and he is hungry. But Little Chipmunk finds no seeds in his hiding place. Instead, there is the shoot of an unusual plant. The plant grows taller and taller under the spring sun, finally sprouting a gigantic golden flower: a sunflower! Warm, rustic illustrations show Chipmunk watching the sunflower grow and change throughout the seasons.

Backmatter includes a page detailing the life cycle of a sunflower.
