Grow, Tree, Grow!

A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking questions about where trees come from or how plants get so big. It’s a perfect story for a child showing a new fascination with the natural world right outside their window. Grow, Tree, Grow! follows the life cycle of an oak tree, from a tiny acorn buried by a squirrel to a large, sprawling tree that provides shelter and sustenance for many animals through all four seasons. The narrative beautifully illustrates themes of resilience, as the tree withstands storms and winter freezes, and fosters a sense of wonder about nature's slow and steady processes. It’s an ideal choice for children ages 6 to 8, bridging the gap between a simple picture book and more complex nonfiction.
