Book Description:
|
Sophie's grandfather is a logger, and she watches as he harvests trees that will be cut into boards to build houses and furniture -- but lets the tallest, wind-firm trees stay, to drop their seeds and start a new generation. Deer and birds and even a bear share the forest's shelter, and Sophie discovers that when we take care of the woods, it provides for us for generations to come.
