When a Tree Falls: Nurse Logs and Their Incredible Forest Power - Hardcover
by Kirsten Pendreigh (Author), Elke Boschinger (Illustrator)
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.
