A lyrical, gorgeously illustrated look at the majesty of trees—and what humans can learn from them
Stand tall.
Stretch your branches to the sun.
Be a tree!
We are all like trees: our spines, trunks; our skin, bark; our hearts giving us strength and support, like heartwood. We are fueled by air and sun.
And, like humans, trees are social. They “talk” to spread information; they share food and resources. They shelter and take care of one another. They are stronger together.
In this gorgeous and poetic celebration of one of nature’s greatest creations, acclaimed author Maria Gianferrari and illustrator Felicita Sala both compare us to the beauty and majesty of trees—and gently share the ways in which trees can inspire us to be better people.
**STARRED REVIEW**
"This book has the advantage of lyrical, accessible poetry and vibrant watercolors from an ever changing palette."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"By foregrounding living beings that exemplify grace, strength, and endurance, Gianferrari gives readers a new way to think about their individual and collective existences."
An encouraging nudge to look toward nature for guidance, and a valuable message that "together, we are a forest." * The Horn Book Magazi
