In this innovative and colorful work of early nonfiction from
Caldecott Honor-winning author Lois Ehlert, little ones are introduced
to facts about trees.
Ehlert blends bold graphics, vibrant colors, and precise details in her
watercolor collage alongside found objects like seeds, fabric, wire, and
roots.
A special glossary explains how roots absorb nutrients, what
photosynthesis is, how sap circulates, how to make a bird treat, and
other facts about trees. Children and adults will feel inspired to take
a closer look at the nature in their own backyards.
Celebrate Earth Day, spring, and the basics of trees while improving
color recognition with Lois Ehlert's Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf!
