AS AN OAK TREE GROWS
A fun, eye-opening window into history.
A child plants an acorn, and an oak tree sprouts. As two hundred years pass, genera- tions of people come and go—but the tree remains standing strong, sole witness to the remarkable changes taking place all around it.
This inventive book relays history from a unique perspective, showing how much the world can transform from a single vantage point. This fascinating framing device lets readers watch as populations shift and the landscape transitions from country to city. While methods of transportation, communi- cation and energy use progress rapidly, other things hardly seem to change at all.
Perfect for budding historians and nature enthusiasts alike, the time-lapse quality of the detail-packed illustrations encourages readers to pore over each spread to spot the changes that come with each new era. A fact-filled poster is included to add to the fun.
