Based on the author's life, this story describes a time when Kristen Balouch and her family helped remedy deforestation by planting 1,000,000 trees (yes, it's true!) in British Columbia. When Kristen was 10-years-old she and her sisters came home from school one day to be told by their parents that they were going on a trip to plant trees. They flew from their home in California to British Columbia and joined a crew hired by the Canadian government to replace trees that had been cut down by loggers. They set up camp along a river and lived in a tent. Her mother was the cook, her father planted saplings with the crew, and Kristen helped them both.

Forty years later, Kristen took her children back to see the now grown trees at the site where so much had been accomplished all those years ago. Through an engaging text and vibrant art, we join
