Turbulent winds from an approaching tropical storm snatch an acorn from the safety of an oak tree and deposit it on the shore during the night. The acorn risks being washed away into the ocean or being eaten by a seagull before it’s rescued by Hatokwassi, a Kiawah Indian. She tucks the acorn safely away in her pouch, carries it back to her village, and lovingly plants it in her garden. Hatokwassi imagines it as a gift for her village, praying for the branches to shade the garden, the boughs to provide a playground for the children, and the seeds to offer food for the squirrels. A picture book for children, One Acorn’s Journey narrates the story of the Angel Oak, the oldest living oak tree in the United States located in Charleston, South Carolina.

Whether it will be swept out to sea by incoming waves or eaten by a ravenous sea gull, an acorn lies helpless on the sandy shoreline. Gathering supplies from among sea shells and driftwood, a Kiawah Indian woman notices the acorn, places it in her pocket, and plants it in her garden farther inland. The life cycle of the acorn begins as it is placed into the earth and is followed throughout the story as children are protected by its branches and animals feed from its fruits. This is a touching story of one acorn's journey to becoming one of the oldest oak trees in North America and its fight for survival in 2010.
