What a classy, beautiful celebration of trees and nature all cocooned in poetic words. Here is a chance to look at a book from a whole new perspective. Instead of holding the book in your lap and reading from left to right, you need to turn it so you can read from the top to the bottom beginning with the far left and reading down to the bottom of the far right hand page. Trees from around the world come alive for us and all the parts of trees, the rings, the bark, the leaves have their own poems. it's a visual treat that makes you think tall and up and alive. It brings home how important our trees are to us whether they are bristle cone pines or banyan trees. And poetry has never been so inviting. 18 poems in all. 48 pages Ages 5-11
