This book shares the life story of the giant sequoia, casting light
on natural questions: How does this tree grow so big? How does it
live so long? From tiny seed to world's largest tree, the giant
sequoia is a living wonder of nature. This ancient and tremendous
species grows naturally only on the western slopes of
California’s Sierra Nevada. Each sequoia begins life as a seed no
larger than an oatmeal flake—yet can grow as tall as three blue
whales stacked chin to tale. The oldest sequoias have lived as long
as forty human lifetimes. The largest are so enormous, twenty
children holding hands can’t wrap their arms around the trunks!
In evocative text and vibrant paintings, The Sequoia Lives On
reveals all of this fascinating information and more. An extensive
author’s note completes the portrait for young readers, inviting
them to become the next generation of protectors for this amazing
tree.
