3Maple trees grow all across North America and many other places in the world. There are many different kinds, but all grow in the same way. Your readers will learn that they start as a seed, sprout, become a sapling, and years later, are a full-grown tree. They will learn about what trees need to stay alive: water, soil, and sun. Beautiful photographs draw readers in with the lovely leaves and characteristics of maple trees, complimenting the age-appropriate narrative.
