Publisher Description:

The story of paper is a simple introduction to paper, explaining where it comes from and how it is made. Short, simple chapters describe trees and different types of wood and take the reader through the process of making paper, from planting trees to the finished product. The book includes sections on the difference between natural forests and commercial plantations, and the main types of trees used to produce paper.

This book is one of the seven books in the Made in South Africa series, by ex-school teacher turned non-fiction author Lynn Barnes. The books are aimed at younger readers and are divided into short chapters with full-colour photos and illustrations. The language is clear and accessible for both first- and second-language learners. A word help section explains more difficult terms that are relevant to the particular topic. These informative books provide excellent resource material for school projects and assignments. They are ideal for schools, libraries, home-schooling and children with enquiring minds.

The 7 books in the Made in South Africa series are:

  • The story of rooibos tea
  • The story of shweshwe
  • The story of biltong
  • The story of paper
  • The story of potjiekos
  • The story of wine
  • The story of feather dusters.
