Description

Unearth the real story of green-thumbed pioneer and activist Kate Sessions, who helped San Diego grow from a dry desert town into a lush, leafy city known for its gorgeous parks and gardens.

Katherine Olivia Sessions never thought she’d live in a place without trees. In the end, Kate grew up a few of the towering pines and redwoods of Northern California. But after becoming the first woman to graduate from the University of California with a degree in science, she took a job as a teacher far south in the dry desert town of San Diego. Where there were almost no trees.

Kate determined that San Diego needed trees more than anything else. So this trailblazing young woman singlehandedly began a massive movement that transformed the town into the green, garden-filled oasis it’s today. Now, more than 100 years after Kate first arrived in San Diego, her gorgeous gardens and parks can also be found everywhere the city.

Part fascinating biography, part inspirational story, this moving picture book about following your dreams, the usage of your talents, and staying strong in the face of adversity is sure to resonate with readers old and young.
