The Tree is an illustrated tale about the surprisingly epic life of a tree. One day, the author’s 4-year old daughter asked a simple, yet profound question: “What happens to a tree after it falls down?” This conversation inspired the creation of this book as a way to show her the beauty of the cycle of life in the natural world. Follow the humble origins of a cottonwood seed from its mother tree to its enduring life. Vibrant imagery and simple prose engage children ages 3-6 in this touching story.

"For eight hundred years I have lived here, through the wind, the fire and the snow." This powerful song of an ancient Douglas fir celebrates the age-old cycle of life in the Pacific Rainforest, revealing the interconnectedness of all things. From the gentle whisper of owls' wings to the haunting echo of a lone wolf's cry, each scene resonates with the beauty and sacredness of nature. But when bulldozers invade the forest, the tree senses its impending destruction and asks: "Who will house the owl? And who will hold that river's shore? And who will take refuge in my shadow, if my shadow falls no more?"This stunningly-illustrated book sounds an urgent call to preserve our fragile environment reminding each of us that the hope for a brighter future lies in our own hands. "The Tree should be on every child's bookshelf. The illustrations are hauntingly beautiful. The message is powerful: we must take peaceful action to save what we love." -Dr. Jane Goodall

Come share some of that magic that is "The Tree".
