The Tree Lady: The True Story of How One Tree-Loving Woman Changed a City Forever, written by H. Joseph Hopkins, illustrated by Jill McElmurry
Some classes discussed this book during their library time, but it’s a story that every San Diegan should know! Growing up among the towering pines and redwoods of Northern California, Katherine Olivia Sessions never thought she’d live in a place without trees, after. But after becoming the first woman to graduate from the University of California with a degree in science, she accepted a teaching job in the dry desert town of San Diego, where there were almost no trees. Kate decided that San Diego needed trees more than anything else. So this trailblazing young woman single-handedly started a massive movement that transformed the town into the green, garden-filled oasis it is today. Now, more than 100 years after Kate Sessions first arrived in San Diego, her gorgeous gardens and parks can be found all over the city.
