It survived ecological and human threats and flourished for over 1200 years. Logging in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries depleted the coastal redwood population significantly. But the creation of northern California's Redwood National Park in 1968 helped to save some of the ancient trees, like this one. The tree was discovered by tall tree scientists in 2006, but in the hopes to keep the tree safe, its exact location is kept secret. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSusan Swan's eye-catching illustrations are made of found objects and hand-painted papers bringing a natural depth and texture to the story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Peppered with impressive facts about trees and extensive backmatter, Pearson proves that every tree has a story to tell.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarrie Pearson\u003c\/b\u003e is a former early elementary teacher and the author of \u003ci\u003eA Warm Winter Tail\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Cool Summer Tail\u003c\/i\u003e.
