This real-life story recounts a family's remarkable journey to combat deforestation in British Columbia by planting 1,000,000 trees. When Kristen Balouch was just 10, her parents surprised the family with a trip to a logging site in British Columbia to help replant trees that had been cut down. Along with her sisters and their pet dog, they spent forty days living in a tent, enduring mud and bug bites while working diligently to restore the forest. In this engaging narrative, young readers will not only discover how to plant a tree correctly but also pick up some French and practice math skills. The kid-friendly text is complemented by vibrant illustrations filled with fun details. The story culminates in a modern-day reflection on the lush trees that now thrive where there was once a barren landscape of stumps. An author's note provides additional insights into deforestation, sustainable logging, and the vital role of old-growth forests, emphasizing the impact that even a small group can have when united in purpose. This fun and educational tale carries an important environmental message, encouraging children to take action for a healthier planet. It has been recognized as a Best Book of the Year by School Library Journal and selected as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard.
