I am standing in a deep, green forest. I look up. The trees are so tall they touch the clouds. I hear the wind whispering in the leaves. These trees are the beginning of our story.
I see big machines moving through the forest. They cut the trees into heavy wood logs. The logs are thick and brown. I watch as they are piled onto a big truck. They are ready to go to the factory.
I follow the logs to a huge building. First, the logs go through a giant shower. I see water splashing everywhere! The water washes away all the dirt and mud from the forest. Now the logs are clean.
I look at a machine that spins very fast. It peels the brown bark off the logs, just like peeling a banana. Underneath the bark, the wood is white and smooth. The old bark is saved to help make garden soil.
I watch the white logs enter a machine called a chipper. Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! In just a second, the big logs are turned into millions of tiny wood chips. They look like a mountain of small crackers.
I see the wood chips falling into a giant, hot tank. It is like a magic cooking pot. The chips are mixed with water and cooked until they become soft. I can see them turning into a thick, mushy soup called pulp.
I look closely at the pulp. It is a bit gray and messy. I watch as it goes through many screens to remove any tiny sticks or knots. Now the pulp is very clean and soft, like liquid clouds.
I see the pulp moving into a new tank. Here, it is washed again to make it bright and white. Sometimes, I see beautiful colors being added—pink, blue, or yellow—to make colorful paper for drawing.
I watch the watery pulp pour onto a very long, flat screen. The screen moves fast! The water starts to drip through the holes, leaving a thin layer of fibers on top. It is starting to look like a sheet of paper.
I see the wet sheet pass under giant, heavy metal rollers. They press down hard. Squeeze! Squeeze! I see more water coming out. The rollers make the paper very flat and very thin.
I feel the air getting warm. The paper is traveling over hot pipes. The heat dries the paper, making it strong. I can see the steam rising. The paper is no longer wet; it is smooth and crisp.
I look at the end of the long machine. The finished paper is being wound into a giant roll. It is bigger than a car! This paper will be cut into small pieces for my books and notebooks. My journey is done.
