This #picturebook biography of #KateSessions highlights her pioneering work in planting trees —and encouraging tree planting— in #SanDiegoCA. The illustrations by #JillMcElmurry are lovely.

ncsufoxes I might need to find this one. We live in San Diego. In the Pacific Beach area of San Diego there is a Kate Sessions Elementary school & park (it‘s a huge park with beautiful views). 3y
BookishMarginalia @ncsufoxes It‘s a lovely book about a lovely woman, and it reinforces the importance of persistence. 3y

I find it interesting that there is a book about something very specific such as the woman who changed San Diego's landscapes.

I felt like this was an interesting book because I do not think that many children know who Kate Sessions is. I definitely did not. Kate Session is a woman who helped make San Diego from a dessert to a lush, leafy city. This book would be great for children who are really into the environment or are from San Diego! I really enjoyed the pictures and the language of this book.

4/5
