Description
Pando is an inspiring tribute to a grove of quaking Aspen trees in Utah in the United States which are connected by their roots to form one of the world's oldest and largest living things. Author Kate Allen Fox engages readers' senses to help convey the vastness of Pando, the challenges it faces, and how we all can be part of the solution. With lyrical poetry, Fox summarizes the science, action and compassion needed to save this wonder of nature.
