A portrait of some of the world's most incredible trees, seen through
the eyes of a landscaper who loves them--and his granddaughter who is
beginning to understand why.
¿Por qué, abuelo? ¿Por qué?
¿Por qué me maravillan los árboles?
Déjame compartir contigo ...
Desde el extraordinario árbol arco iris hasta las poderosas y altísimas
secoyas, los árboles del mundo son un espectáculo de diversidad
ecológica y adaptaciones sorprendentes.
En Verde fresco, un paisajista y su nieta se asombran con los
diferentes tipos de árboles que hay en todo el mundo, algunos
familiares, y otros un poco menos conocidos, pero todos extraordinarios
a su manera.
Rebosante de exuberancia y color, es claro que esta oda a los árboles
del mundo despertará asombro y alegría en ambos niños y adultos.
As he works with his young granddaughter to nurture a potted sapling, a
Latino landscaper shares his love and admiration of trees. From the
extraordinary rainbow gum tree to the mighty, towering redwood, each of
the thirteen specimens he tells of is a miracle of the natural
world--and some are strange beyond the wildest imagining. Brimming with
exuberance and color, this ode to trees of the world--and the vast
knowledge of landscapers and gardeners--offers a feast for the eyes,
with author-illustrator Lulu Delacre paying touching tribute by
imbedding seeds, fronds, and leaves within her art. Complete with an
author's note, glossary, and further information on the featured trees,
Cool Green will have readers eager to turn the pages to discover each
new reminder of what a precious place our earth is.
