IF I WERE A TREE
WINNER 2008 Teachers’ Choice Award
WINNER 2008 National Arbor Day Foundation’s Media Award
WINNER American Horticultural Society’s Growing Good Kids Book Award
This uniquely shaped book is a celebration of trees through gentle, poetic verse and colorful collage illustrations of various tree species in all seasons. Inspired, in part, by the wonderful response the public has always had for my trees, and by a small, holiday exhibit I had at the former Church Door Gallery in the winter of 2005, entitled “Little Trees,” for which a wrote a poem called “To Be A Tree.” This poem is included in the book, as well as a great Tree Facts page that shows the basic parts of a tree along with scientific information about trees, which teachers will love for their tree-study units.
If I Were A Tree is a wonderful book for either the home or the classroom and will encourage thoughtful readers and listeners to think about trees in a new and imaginative way.
