The City Tree

In this enchanting and informative picture book with environmental themes, a newly planted sidewalk tree transforms the neighborhood as residents nurture it through the seasons. Vibrantly illustrated and with extensive back matter, this is a lovely ode to how trees make cities—and communities—better. Perfect for fans of The Night Gardener and The Curious Garden. Dani lives on a city block carpeted with concrete—until a street tree moves in. The tree brings the wonders of nature to Dani’s doorstep and is good company through the days and seasons. But it will need help to thrive . . . This love letter to the many gifts of trees reminds us to take care of our neighbors—even those with roots, branches, and leaves. An inspiring story that will empower young readers to engage in climate activism and plant and nurture trees. A perfect Earth Day pick. Spectacular artwork depicts a vibrant, diverse neighborhood. Includes back matter that invites kids to care for the trees in their own neighborhood.
