THE TINY GIANT

An IBPA Ben Franklin Silver Award winner. Stunningly intricate images help illustrate the beauty of nature and celebrate how something as tiny as an acorn can create something so significant.

The narrative follows a single acorn's transformation into a mature oak tree. As seasons shift and weather conditions change, readers observe how the acorn establishes itself and eventually supports an entire ecosystem, growing into a forest-worthy specimen. The book provides practical guidance on oak tree cultivation and explores different oak species, showing how one tiny seed can make such an impact across an entire ecosystem.

Back matter includes historical information about Arbor Day alongside instructions for growing your own oak tree, supplemented by comprehensive listings of various oak types. Written by Barbara Ciletti and illustrated by Cathy Morrison.
