As an Oak Tree Grows

(2) K-3 In 1775 a white oak tree sprouts, and for more than two hundred years it stands as a landmark, witnessing two centuries of transformation in American life. Karas's illustrations show the same location every twenty-five years, unobtrusively keeping track with an expanding timeline at the bottom of each double-page spread. Pencil, gouache, and acrylic illustrations allow readers to see how generations alter the landscape.
