Picture book biography of Katherine Olivia Sessions who loved working with
plants. When she moved from the heavily wooded northern California to the
southern Californian San Diego desert, Sessions was determined to discover what
kinds of trees would survive there – and she did.
Actually the author repeats those last few words, “and she did,” over and over
again in this book with variations.
“Not everyone knew how to hunt for trees.
But Kate did.”
This repetition gives a rhythm to the writing and a positive spin
to Kate’s lifelong project.
(As a
new San Diegoan, I thank her.)
