Moon Tree by Carolyn Bennett Fraiser illustrated by Simona Mulazzani

The Story of One Extraordinary Tree 

Ms. Fraiser shares a little known story of tree seeds that circle the moon with the United States first moon orbit and landing. The seeds have been planted all over the United States (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina,Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, & Washington) and even in Brazil. We have a moon tree in our town, which is why I borrowed this book from our local library! The listing for where all of the moon trees are growing is included in the back of the book.

I love stories about little known tidbits of history! The illustrations were a bit too dark and modern for me.

*Highly recommend for those who may have a moon tree in their town!
