About the Book



When Susanne leaves her city home to visit her grandmother, she finds a very special tree of her own in the forest. Each time she returns to the tree, she observes something unique about it--from the sheltering protection of its branches to the scratchy surface of its bark.



Book Synopsis



"✭A story filled with pure love and adoration for the rainbow of nature and the opportunities it presents to us."-- School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

A modern take on Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree that celebrates the friendship between a curious child and her favorite tree.

When Susanne leaves her city home to visit her grandmother, she finds a very special tree of her own in the forest. Each time she returns to the tree, she observes something unique about it--from the sheltering protection of its branches to the scratchy surface of its bark.

This is a wonderful introduction to trees for young children that gently cultivates an appreciation for nature. Interwoven in the fiction text are unique facts about trees and simple activities that encourage readers to touch, smell, and observe the world that is all around them. Printed on FSC-certified paper with vegetable-based inks.



From the Back Cover



During a visit to her grandparents', Susanne leaves the city behind and journeys into the forest. There she discovers how incredible the natural world can be in this charming story of friendship between a curious child and her favorite tree.

Filled with environmental concepts that will inspire young readers to explore the world around them and engage their curiosity, Under My Tree is a simple, thoughtful introduction to conservation for the budding explorer.
