Tree of Time

Children will be delighted by this picture book that follows the life of a giant sequoia that lived for over 2,000 years. Illustrated with lovely watercolor paintings, the volume pairs the progressive stages of development of the tree with notable events in world history. This technique helps children to better appreciate the past and its significant milestones while it allows them to more fully grasp the remarkable age of these unusual trees. For further emphasis, a time line of world history runs throughout the book.
