This book was about A girl and her grandmother who are looking for spruce roots to make hats. The story has both a fictional and a factual aspect. As the story progresses the girl learns about the woods and their importance. This book would be great for biology because it has facts mixed in that you be easy to discuss.

I will have to look at this book again. I thumbed through it and didn’t get that far into it. I like that you mentioned that it could be used in a biology setting. I am going into biology and I will try this with my students.
