Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about endings, death, or the changing seasons, or when you want to instill a sense of peaceful interconnectedness with the natural world. This lyrical story follows the complete journey of a single tree, from its beginnings as a tiny seed to its eventual fall and its second life as a thriving 'nurse log.' It beautifully illustrates that endings in nature are rarely final; instead, they provide the foundation for new life to flourish. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 8, this book uses gentle, rhythmic prose and detailed art to transform a potentially scary concept into a lesson on gratitude and hope. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to foster environmental stewardship or help a child navigate the concept of legacy and the circularity of time. By focusing on the vibrant ecosystem a fallen tree supports, it offers a comforting perspective on the natural rhythms of our world.
