The perfect read for exploring nature with children, this beautiful nonfiction picture book offers an awe-inspiring look at the forest’s life cycle.
A tree suns and sways in the forest. She is a place to grow, to rest, and to shelter. But what happens when a tree falls? The answer will make your heart soar.
In this lyrical picture book, explore how the extraordinary nurse log provides a nutrient-rich space for new seedlings, shelters small animals, hosts different plant species, and, most profoundly, nurtures a new tree in the process, renewing the cycle of life. Young readers will be amazed by the nurse log’s resilience and its powerful connection to the forest’s past, present, and future.
Perfect for:
- Kids who are interested in trees and forests
- Parents and grandparents of children who want to learn more about trees and forests
- Teachers, educators, and librarians seeking beautiful nonfiction books with STEM content
- Gift-givers looking for a distinctive present for an animal- or nature-loving child
- Anyone seeking a picture book that promotes environmental awareness
- Readers of Because of an Acorn, Over and Under the Rainforest, and Wake Up, Woodlands
