Tree in Me

Through poetic text and exquisite illustrations of children reveling in nature, this picture book explores the various ways we as human beings are strong, creative, and connected to others. Each of us is like a tree, with roots and fruit, and an enduring link to everything else in nature.The tree in me is strong. It bends in the wind, and has roots that go deepto where other roots reach up toward their own trunk-branch-crown and sky.

As Corinna Luyken did in her award-winningMy Heart, she again provides an invigorating conversation-starter that contains a world of truthsabout self-esteem, community, and living a meaningful life.
