Little Acorn

Written by Melanie Joyce and Illustrated by Gina Maldonado

What happens to a little acorn as the seasons change? Follow its journey as it grows from a tiny seed into a strong oak tree. Along the way, young readers explore how trees grow and change while learning about seasons and the life cycle of a plant. With inviting illustrations and a simple nature-focused story, this book introduces early science concepts and encourages children to notice the changes happening in the natural world around them.
