Stretch to the Sun: From a Tiny Sprout to the Tallest Tree on Earth by Carrie A. Pearson

4.0

For those who love trees especially those gorgeous redwoods, this is the story of a tree from its death providing new life in the entire ecosystem including the impact humans have played in the forest. We see the growth of what is considered to now be the tallest tree from its infancy to 1200 years later. A fabulous addition to talk about ecosystems and conservation in classrooms and libraries. The illustrations by a Susan Swan are detailed and stunning and will have readers appreciating the details.
