How can a single tree help build cars, protect doctors, power industries, and change the way people move across the planet?
The Amazing Rubber Tree: How One Plant Changed the World takes readers on a fascinating journey through science, history, and innovation—starting with a living tree in the rainforest and ending with the rubber products we use every day.
Young readers will explore:
How rubber trees grow and why they produce latex
How people learned to tap trees without cutting them down
The transformation of liquid latex into solid rubber
Rubber’s role in transportation, medicine, safety, and sports
The rise of synthetic rubber and the challenges of sustainability
Written in a smooth, story-driven prose style, this book avoids dry lists and instead explains complex ideas clearly and thoughtfully. It connects biology to chemistry, history to engineering, and nature to modern technology in a way that is easy to understand and engaging to read.
Ideal for ages 8–14, The Amazing Rubber Tree is perfect for independent readers, classrooms, and families who enjoy nonfiction that explains how the world really works.
