Travis Visits a Tree Farm
by Stephanie Fuller
Picture Book · Ages 4–8 · STEM / Forestry / Environment / Educational
Travis and his class visit a real tree farm — and discover that forests are managed, sustained, and cared for by people who know them deeply.
Project Overview
Travis Visits a Tree Farm by Stephanie Fuller (Mascot Books, February 2023) is the companion book to Sam Visits a Sawmill, following a different young protagonist into the earlier stage of the timber journey — the tree farm itself. When Travis and his classmates visit, they learn how forests are managed for multiple purposes: providing wood products, protecting wildlife, and preserving natural beauty. Fuller brings the same clarity and respect for young readers’ intelligence that characterises Sam Visits a Sawmill, making complex ideas about sustainability and conservation accessible without oversimplifying them.
The illustration challenge was making a tree farm feel genuinely exciting — rows of managed trees and forestry equipment don’t immediately read as adventure, and every spread needed to find the wonder in the work, keeping both Travis’s curiosity and the reader’s attention fully engaged throughout.
