A child discovers a special tree, unveiling nature's wonders with each visit.
In a forest near her grandmother's home, Susanne finds a tree that becomes her cherished friend. Each visit reveals new wonders, from protective branches to textured bark. As Susanne explores, she learns to appreciate the beauty and secrets of nature. This enchanting tale invites young readers to engage with the natural world through touch, smell, and observation, fostering a lifelong connection with the environment.
A modern take on Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree that celebrates the friendship between a curious child and her favorite tree.
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 is a wonderful introduction to trees for young children that gently cultivates an appreciation for nature. Interwoven in the fiction text are unique facts about trees and simple activities that encourage readers to touch, smell, and observe the world that is all around them.
