About This Book:
What is a pencil? A forest transformed. In this beautifully illustrated wordless picture book, young readers can follow a pencil’s life cycle from tree to factory to store shelf and back to tree.
Even the simplest tool contains multitudes. Once a living tree, then a manufactured commodity, a pencil in the hands of a young artist becomes the key to a rich imaginative world. In this expansive, gorgeously illustrated story, creator Hye-Yun Kim asks us to see and appreciate the full value—and infinite possibilities—of the pencil, as well as other seemingly mundane objects around us. This powerful aid teaches readers essential visual literacy skills and celebrates the creative process.

The back matter of the book shares how to read a silent book, from creating a quiet space to rereading, play acting the ideas within the story, asking questions, and reflecting on the story’s themes. The book provides an interesting way of delving into the value of items and how they come to be, no matter how much one might take them for granted.
