The Sequoia Lives on by Joanna CookeThis book shares the life story of the giant sequoia, casting light on natural questions: How does this tree grow so big? How does it live so long? From tiny seed to world's largest tree, the giant sequoia is a living wonder of nature. This ancient and tremendous species grows naturally only on the western slopes of California's Sierra Nevada. Each sequoia begins life as a seed no larger than an oatmeal flake yet can grow as tall as three blue whales
