A Squirrel Planted an Acorn
Take a journey through 300 years of history and the settlement of America under the branches of a stately Oak Tree. From an acorn to old age, the forest changes with time from the arrival of native tribes and settler families on horseback to retirement homes on wheels as the modern age came to live life next to the old tree by the brook.

This book will forever be a part of my heart, soul, and being! Growing up hearing this story as a child to reading it today and glowing, cherishing childhood memories, and being able to disappear into the story and sit under the old oak tree. ❤️🌳
