Beschreibung

Winner of the 2025 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award - Southeast Division Honor Book Named on the 2025 Baker's Dozen: Thirteen Best Children's Books for Family Literacy list by the PA Center for the Book A 2025-2026 Keystone to Reading Elementary Book Award - Preschool List Nominee Eureka! California Reading Association Nonfiction Children's Book Award - Committee Pick, Honorable Mention Whoosh! Crash! Thunk! Follow along as the LOUD sounds of a falling tree signal the transformation of a QUIET area of the forest into a flourishing center of activity. This lyrical nonfiction story uses word opposites such as small and large, dark and light, high and low, and fast and slow to introduce young readers to the natural recycling of fallen timber into log bridges. From bears, porcupines and raccoons to eagles, mice and deer, a host of forest animals repurpose a fallen tree, connecting two sides of a stream together throughout the seasons. A carefully-chosen color palette of soothing natural colors and a charming collection of characters bring the playful prose to life in what is certain to become a storytime or bedtime favorite and a go-to book for early elementary science and language arts teachers.
