In \u003ci\u003eThis Book Was a Tree\u003c\/i\u003e, science teacher Marcie Cuff issues a call for a new era of pioneers—not leathery, backwoods deerskin-wearing salt pork and hominy pioneers, but strong-minded, clever, crafty, mudpie-making, fort-building individuals committed to examining the natural world and deciphering nature’s perplexing puzzles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin each chapter, readers will discover a principle for reconnecting with the natural world around them, from learning to be still to discovering the importance of giving back. With a mix of science and hands-on crafts and activities, readers will be encouraged to brainstorm, imagine, and understand the world as inventive scientists—to touch, collect, document, sketch, decode, analyze, experiment, unravel, interpret, compare, and reflect.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120886497520,"sku":"9781101630075","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101630075_p0.jpg?v=1763689249","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101630075","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
