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.
