Praise for Treemendous: Diary of a Not Yet Mighty Oak

"Expressive digital illustrations by Ciccotello portray the acorn and its brethren with facial features, while clearly depicted root systems and labeled diagrams give the art an educational heft that’s just right for new nonfiction readers.” —Publishers Weekly
