About This Book

Starting with a single acorn, this beautifully illustrated book traces the chain of connections in a forest ecosystem - an acorn grows into a tree, the tree shelters birds, the birds spread seeds, and the cycle continues. Each spread reveals another link in the interconnected web of nature.

Why We Love This

An elegant, visually stunning way to introduce kids to ecology and the idea that everything in nature is connected. Simple enough for toddlers, meaningful enough for older kids.
