Welcome to Litsy!

“Let your roots curl, coil in the soil to ground you“

The illustrations showing the aspects of the tree with the children is very inviting, this story gives something children something they are familiar with to relate to

This book gives personification to the idea of a tree, giving it human like characteristics and explaining the different aspects of human life in relation to the tree

“Stand tall. Stretch your branches to the sun. Be a tree!“

Be a Tree is a kids' book about trees. It tells the story of a child who imagines being a tree and shows how important trees are in our world. The book helps kids understand the role trees play in our environment, and it has beautiful pictures to make it more fun. It's a book that teaches children to appreciate and care for nature. I would definitely use this book in the classroom

A beautifully-illustrated picture-book look at the social life of trees. I'm not sure the arboreal-human comparisons always worked, but the artwork from Felicita Sala was outstanding.

A good look at what it means to be a tree, looking at the inside and the importance of the community of its ecosystem.
