A lyrical, gorgeously illustrated look at the majesty of trees-and
what humans can learn from them Stand tall. Stretch your branches
to the sun. Be a tree! We are all like trees: our spines, trunks;
our skin, bark; our hearts giving us strength and support, like
heartwood. We are fueled by air and sun. And, like humans, trees
are social. They "talk" to spread information; they share food and
resources. They shelter and take care of one another. They are
stronger together. In this gorgeous and poetic celebration of one
of nature's greatest creations, acclaimed author Maria Gianferrari
and illustrator Felicita Sala both compare us to the beauty and
majesty of trees-and gently share the ways in which trees can
inspire us to be better people.
