Tony Frederick’s playful rhyme makes this a book young children will want to look at and listen to again and again, while early readers will enjoy reading it on their own. The turn of every page reveals a unique perspective on the redwood’s many moods, illustrated with Chad Wallace’s stunning colors. Enriching STEAM activities complement the content.

Reviews

The world’s last remaining oldgrowth redwood forests stand along the northern California coast. There, among the tallest trees in the world, Save the Redwoods League created parks and reserves to protect these ancient giants. Tall Tall Tree is a tribute to the remarkable forests we helped to save and the wildlife found therein. This wonderfully illustrated book explores the beautiful and rarely seen world within the redwood forest, inspiring children and adults alike to discover and care for these tall, tall trees.

— Sam Hodder, President and CEO, Save the Redwoods League (July 2017)

Tall, Tall Tree captures the grandiose majesty of redwood trees with playful rhyme, fundamental mathematics, anda game of “I Spy.” Teachers can use this book to introduce young learners to ecological concepts. Parents will enjoy sharing new species with their kids while practicing basic counting and visual recognition. Tall, Tall Tree has something for everyone!

— Jaclyn Stallard, Sr. Manager of Curriculum & Education Resources, Project Learning Tree (July 2017)

What a special book for young children! Its lyrical quality is engaging, its language rich with vivid vocabulary. Its call to action encourages each of us, even the youngest children, to protect these magnificent trees. Plus the STEAM activities enhance the message of this stunningly beautiful book.
