Description
Through a variety of poetic forms, readers are taken on an armchair journey across the continental United States to visit 14 historic tree sites. From the Emancipation Oak in Hampton, Virginia, to the Methuselah tree in Shulman Grove, California, readers will discover trees that have traveled to the moon, witnessed the founding of our country, and inspired hope during troubled times. Fascinating facts cover geography, history, and nature. An author's note provides tips on how to be a tree champion.
