"  There&amp;#039;s so many reasons to love books. And here&amp;#039;s one more reason to add to the list: Peque\u00F1o Editor, a small publishing company in Argentina, recently released a children&amp;#039;s book that can be planted once you&amp;#039;re done reading it\u2014and it will grow into a tree! The project, appropriately named Tree Book Tree, is all about teaching children where books and paper come from. The book is made with ecological ink printed on acid-free paper using a handmade silkscreen. Jacaranda seeds, a tree native to Central and South America, are embedded inside the pages, so that when you plant the whole book in the ground, a tree will eventually sprout.  Claiming to be the first plantable book, Tree Book Tree &amp;quot;returns to nature what it took from it,&amp;quot; according to the publishing company. To demonstrate how it works, Peque\u00F1o Editor has been planting the book using terrariums in bookstore windows.  Of course, the story featured in the book aims to help children appreciate nature as well. Titled &amp;quot;Mi Pap\u00E1 Estuvo en la Selva&amp;quot; (translated as &amp;quot;My Dad Was in the Jungle&amp;quot;) and written by Gusti Llimpi and Anne Decis, it&amp;#039;s a true story from the Ecuadorian jungle, targeting kids 8 to12 years old. According to Tree Hugger, the book is just one of many seed-embedded paper products to hit the market recently, such as biodegradable cups and wrapping paper, with the hope of reducing waste by encouraging people to plant the items when they&amp;#039;re done using them.
