How can something stay itself and yet change and grow? The oak tree shows us how.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes things happen by chance. A blue jay drops an acorn, a lucky acorn that happens to fall in just the right place and begins to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough it begins life as a tiny part of the forest floor, the acorn soon grows large enough to provide shelter for a fox, host for insects that in turn provide food for songbirds, and a home for many small creatures. Animals hibernate in its branches and among its roots, and humans rest in the cool shade it provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs generations of living things pass by the tree, the forest develops, and a town begins to grow. And the lucky tree is always there, though its form and size change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this picture book about the life cycle of a tree and the plants and animals that depend upon it, Henry Cole reminds us, in elegant prose and stunning black \u0026amp; white illustrations, of the importance of interconnectedness and the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48681178169584,"sku":"9781682637333","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/9781682637333.jpg?v=1767728039","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/mighty-the-story-of-an-oak-tree-ecosystem-by-henry-cole","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
