In a Nutshell
by Joseph Anthony
by Joseph Anthony; illustrated by Cris Arbo
In a Nutshell is a moving story about the stages of life and the circle of life, captured by the same author and illustrator of The Dandelion Seed. In this story, an acorn drops from a great oak and grows. Animals nibble at it and a fire threatens it, but the little acorn overcomes many challenges and eventually grows tall enough to tower over the forest and observe the changing landscape below.
