\"book<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A few leaves, many leaves, a whole tree!
Small trees, more trees, a whole forest!
Many animals, many birds\u2026and a noisy machine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wordless picturebook traces the journey of a single pencil from sapling to forest tree to sawed log to factory to art supply store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young girl chooses that pencil, then draws marvelous trees extending from the tree stumps, a forest that the displaced animals want to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawn in colored pencil and marker, first published in the illustrator’s native Korea and dedicated to her daughter: “May your small tree grow into a large forest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Includes helpful advice on how to read a silent book to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Children’s Book Week! When you look for this charming book at your local library (https:\/\/search.worldcat.org\/libraries<\/a>) or independent bookstore (https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/indie-store-finder<\/a>), check out the many art styles of today’s picturebooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you chose just one colored pencil, what color would it be?
