Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky. (Kahlil Gibran)
A beautiful book about trees, written with delicate elegance and so much sensitivity for the vital role nature plays in our lives. Powerful words blend with gorgeous illustrations, offering a story full of mindfulness and emotion.
My thoughts:
My daughter fell in love with this book, enjoying every bit. It helped her understand more about nature and why we need to protect trees. We read the book over and over again, and I was glad that she asked so many questions. Early education is key to raising kids who fight for a greener planet, who understand the unbreakable bond between people and trees, seeking nature to center themselves.
If there is a book that will help young readers get closer to the great outdoors, this is it. I think stories like this one also contribute to a healthy mindset for the future, not to mention it has a great educational value. The author has included some of the most common trees, teaching kids how to recognize them. Moreover, she has added a lot of interesting facts, making it easy for both parents and teachers to use her story as a teaching resource.
Reading this book to my daughter, I noticed the beautiful lines, and how the author’s love for nature shined throughout the story. She places an emphasis on the connection with nature, the individuality of each season, and how getting in touch with nature can help us feel calmer and more relaxed.
Children can learn about trees and how they produce oxygen. At the same time, they are taught to relate to the breathing process, and discover for themselves the benefits it offers. Climate awareness is explored, and I liked how the author said it is “not too late to fix it”. I agree, it all depends on the generation we are raising now.
She also speaks of how trees offer us nuts, fruits, and wood; how we can have fun with trees and spot the wildlife living around them. Kids can learn how long trees live and even discover interesting stories about them, stories that happened years ago. At the end of the book, there are some cool worksheets, which I am sure kids will love.
Verdict:
As a parent, I am always on the lookout for books that can help me teach my daughter about the world. I absolutely loved this book, not only because I was able to bring her closer to nature and trees, but also because beautiful stories allow us, parents, to create a stronger bond with our children. Highly recommended!
