Age: Preschool-Kindergarten
Nature: Tree life cycle

We follow the life of a tree and it's luck and persistence to survive, thrive, then, ultimately, succumb to a final winter break in its trunk. Although it's sad to see the main character perish, the author leaves us with a nut starting a new life next to the old tree.

I found the rhythm rather enjoyable and easy to read but there was a key point that felt undisclosed (did the winter cold kill the tree? Ice on the bark? A windstorm?) but, overall, an enjoyable read for the classroom.
