Paper is made of tiny fibers. Most come from trees.
Bark comes off the logs. Then chips are cut.
Chips go in hot water. They get soft. That is pulp.
Pulp goes on a screen. Water drips out. A thin sheet stays.
The sheet is pressed and dried. Now it is paper.
Paper comes out as a long sheet on huge rolls.
Pulp can make a book.
Old paper can be made into new paper.
