The Journey of a Sapling
Have you ever seen a tiny tree in a park? That little tree is called a sapling. Because it is young, a sapling is still growing and developing its roots and leaves.
So, it needs sunlight and water to become strong and healthy. As it grows, it will eventually become a big tree, providing shade and homes for animals.
Next time you spot a small tree, remember that it’s a sapling on its way to becoming something much bigger!
