A charming story about the lifecycle of a mother tree and the creatures who rely on her.

Just like that, Old Oak's rooted life came to an end.
Even with her tap root severed, Old Oak would bring new life to the forest.

After 400 years in the forest, it's time for Old Oak to fall. With a pop, frenzy of snaps, and a flurry of movement, she leans to one side and falls heavily to rest on the forest floor. When news of beloved Old Oak spreads throughout the forest, creatures big and small gather to show their gratitude for all she gave in her rooted life.

The squirrels thank her for the acorns, leaf buds, and catkins. The rabbits remember the cozy burrows her roots provided. Even the weevils scuttle aboveground to acknowledge all she gave them as tiny grubs. But the creatures soon discover Old Oak's life is actually just beginning, and her legacy will serve the forest for hundreds of years to come.

  • Teaches kids about all of the unique ways trees provide resources for the forest ecosystem
  • Features a wide range of forest creatures
  • Includes endnotes about oak trees, tree rings, and the forest ecosystem
