ReviewsStarred Review, Kirkus Reviews: "As narrator, Cooke speaks with earnestness and clarity while employing language and syntax that are poetic and filled with obvious love of these giants. Hsieh's double-page-spread illustrations, done in gorgeous tones of browns, yellows, and greens, add a dreamlike element.... Informative and breathtakingly beautiful."

June 1, 2018 School Library Journal: "A feast for the eyes and ears, this tribute to the sequoia offers Hsieh's gorgeous painterly illustrations and Cooke's figurative language, well suited to the age of the intended audience. . . . Informative and lyrical, the main story abounds with intriguing facts, but those still seeking additional information can satisfy their curiosity with back matter that is sufficiently substantial for note-taking. VERDICT Inspiring and highly recommended for nonfiction collections and nature lovers." September 1, 2018

SynopsisStarred Review fromKirkus Reviews! From tiny seed to largest tree, the giant sequoia is a living wonder of nature. Numbers fail when trying to describe this ancient and tremendous tree.

The oldest sequoias have lived as long as forty human lifetimes. The largest are so enormous, twenty children holding hands can't wrap their arms around the trunks! In evocative text and vibrant paintings, The Sequoia Lives On shares the life story of the giant sequoia, casting light on natural questions: How does this tree grow so big? How does it live so long? An extensive author's note completes the portrait for young readers, inviting them to become the next generation of protectors for the giant sequoia., b>This book shares the life story of the giant sequoia, casting light on natural questions: How does this tree grow so big?
