Under My Tree - Award-Winning Nature Picture Book
"✭A story filled with pure love and adoration for the rainbow of nature and the opportunities it presents to us."-- School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW
A modern take on Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree that celebrates the friendship between a curious child and her favorite tree.
About This Picture Book
When Susanne leaves her city home to visit her grandmother, she finds a very special tree of her own in the forest. Each time she returns to the tree, she observes something unique about it--from the sheltering protection of its branches to the scratchy surface of its bark.
This picture book introduces young readers to the natural world through the eyes of a curious child. The story follows Susanne's repeated visits to her special tree, where she discovers new details during each encounter. From the texture of bark to the shelter of branches, children learn to observe and appreciate nature's details.
