Details
by Sarah Kurpiel (Author), Sarah Kurpiel (Illustrator)
This tender, affecting story of the life of a tree and its impact on a young girl is a glorious read-aloud in the vein of classics such as The Giving Tree and The Rabbit Listened.
The backyard tree has meant everything to the girl in this story. It has been a companion, a shelter, and a setting for all kinds of games. But now it's time to say goodbye, and to make room for a new backyard tree. And just as the old tree used to watch over the girl, she will now watch over the seedling as it grows. In soothing, melodic prose and gentle, glowing images, this story is about much more than a tree--it's about family, about processing sadness, about the circle of life and the nourishment we all receive from nature.Author Biography
