The Tree Lady: The True Story of How One Tree-Loving Woman Changed a City Forever
(2)
K-3
Illustrated by
Jill McElmurry.
Kate Sessions, the first woman to graduate from Berkeley with a science degree, was responsible for populating San Diego's Balboa Park with lush, green trees, just in time for the Panama-California Exposition in 1915. Hopkins's text succinctly captures the highlights of his subject's life, and McElmurry's gouache illustrations document the gradually changing landscape from barren desert to verdant garden.
