Hiram lives with his beloved Grandpappy in the mountain town of Switchback, West Virginia. Together they care for a mighty white oak tree that has watched over their family for generations.
As Grandpappy shares the remarkable story of how one tiny acorn became the giant tree standing in their front yard, Hiram discovers lessons about patience, family, love, loss, and hope.
Inspired by the kindness of the people of Switchback, this gentle story celebrates stewardship, the beauty of Appalachia, and the idea that even the smallest acts of care can grow into something extraordinary.
Beautifully illustrated in warm watercolor by Maria Peña, From Little Acorns is a timeless picture book about family roots, resilience, and leaving the world a little better than we found it.
