Description

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.
