#JulyJazz Day 5: This is a gorgeously-illustrated title that demonstrates our one-ness with everything around us: from the tree to its fruits, from the wind to the bees, from the roots to the sky. It is an ode to nature, and the fact that we are #indivisible from it. It is told in such a lyrical way and the art is absolutely gorgeous.

I can see that there is also a tree...in you.

I loved how this book "the tree in me" had a more deep rooted meaning about the main characters life story.

The tree in me is an amazing book that can identify being "strong" and talks about your roots.

“I am the tree, and the tree is me.“ This quote captures the book‘s theme, illustrating the deep connection between the child and the tree, and highlighting the reflection of personal qualities in nature.

I would use this book in my classroom to offer an opportunity for engaging students in discussions about nature, self-awareness, and personal growth.

The Tree in Me by Corinna Luyken is a picture book that explores the connection between nature and our own inner selves. Published in 2018. The story follows a child who sees themselves reflected in a tree. As the child looks at the tree‘s features, they recognize how they share qualities with it. This book uses illustrations to demonstrate themes of growth and resilience.

This book is absolutely stunning, with dreamy art and a lovely message about finding the nature and beauty in you and in others.
