When Tree Became a Tree

By Rob Hodgson

Illustrator: Rob Hodgson

Meet Tree! Follow along as she guides us through her life cycle in this charming and humorous nonfiction picture book.

Following the success of When Cloud Became a Cloud and When Moon Became the Moon comes Rob Hodgson’s next long-form picture book about an apple tree’s life cycle. This delightfully fun exploration of trees both informs and entertains, and helps young readers make sense of the world around them. The charming protagonist, Tree, sparsely narrates her story in ten short chapters with text bubbles and vignettes sprinkled in to provide wit, style, and humor. Young audiences will immediately connect to the colorful, whimsical art and welcome a sense of accomplishment in devouring this unexpected yet wholly accessible scientific book.
