About This Book

Steven Kellogg retells the American folk legend of John Chapman, who spent his life wandering the frontier planting apple orchards and befriending settlers and animals alike. The richly detailed illustrations bring to life both the historical reality and the tall-tale mythology surrounding this beloved figure.

Why We Love This

The blend of real history and folklore is captivating, and kids are amazed that one person could plant so many trees - it always inspires them to want to plant something of their own.
