Goodreads

This is a beautifully illustrated book about the life cycle of trees. It deviates from the standard seed-to-tree structure and presents a more cyclical approach to tree growth. It incorporates the relationships trees have to everything around them including animals, other trees, and us. This would be a great classroom books for younger kids and it’s soothing to read aloud. For those wanting more information about trees there is a, interesting, detailed author’s note at the end.
