How Does A Tree Become A Tree?

It starts with a seed. Then a tree takes root, grows, and matures into a lush and beautiful sapling that provides shade and comfort for people and animals in this sweet and clever story for young readers.

Rain, sun, soil, and time all go into the growing of a tree, which in time provides shade for picnics “and sometimes… lions." When the grown tree drops seeds itself, the cycle is repeated. Readers also learn that trees produce oxygen so people can breathe and that when trees “hang out together,” they're called a “grove.”

Trees are also friendly. They listen and make soft rustling sounds. They provide shade and a place to rest. So if you ever feel alone, just remember that trees are your friends. In fact, “a tree is where it all begins!’

This simple but clever story will fascinate young readers. With minimal text and brief, bite-sized sentences, the story will engage young minds and draw them into basic botany and other sciences. Beautifully illustrated, Joshua Goodson’s How Does a Tree Become a Tree? is a delightful read!

A very cute and accurate book to teach children about the life cycle of a tree. Adorable illustrations and easy to follow story makes it perfect for young readers.
