Big Tree is the neighborhood's biggest landmark. It presides over street
games, barbeques, and water fights. But crack! Oh no! Big Tree has been
split by lightning! In this warm and positive book, people from all
parts of the community--neighbors, city workers, and children--come
together to clean up and remember Big Tree, and to plant Little Tree in
its stead. This wonderful story of neighborly cooperation and community
engagement will introduce kids to the joys of being involved in the
world immediately around them.
