The Story
Be a Tree! is a lyrical, gorgeously illustrated look at the majesty of treesāand what humans can learn from them.
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 ātalkā 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 natureās greatest creations, acclaimed author Maria Gianferrari and illustrator Felicita Sala compare us to the beauty and majesty of treesāand gently share the ways in which trees can inspire us to be better people.
