Perfect for Earth Day! Ideal for Arbor Day! Have you ever wondered what a conversation with a tree might be like?
If you love trees, you'll adore this heartwarming story about a tree sharing memories with a man who, with a saw in hand, is pondering the idea of cutting it down. You'll quickly fall in love with this charming old tree and its personality. But ultimately, will the man cut down the tree even after he is reminded of the many delightful moments they've shared over the years?
Hiruni's illustrations beautifully capture each scene and make us feel that we are under the enchanting spell of the tree. With each page turn, we are reminded of our own experiences with nature and the simple joys that trees give us. Children are engaged in the interactive and repetitive rhythm of questions, thoughts, and descriptive snapshots throughout the book.
Unique to picture books, the final pages include tips for parents and teachers to engage children in reading and writing using The Silent Tree Remembers. While enjoying the story, parents and teachers can engage children in a way that helps them become even better readers and writers.
