Publisher: Dawn
Publications (CA)
Who we are, why we are here, where we come from and
where we go. Every child ponders life's greatest questions. Here, in a nutshell,
is a tale about life.
An acorn drops from a great oak and grows. Animals
nibble at it, a fire threatens it, but overcoming many challenges it eventually
towers high in the forest, observing the changing human scene below. Eventually
its energy passes into many other life forms--even a cherry pie.
