pickI finished my final read of the year with the last pages of this delightful book. I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed reading all the anecdotes full of fascinating information about trees in small sections over the course of the entire year.

I‘ll close out my 2025 reading with this final book. I admit that I was not great about reading it daily & would have to catch up sometimes, but I quite enjoyed this daily look at trees. Beautiful photos & great writing & a blend of nature, science, history & folklore.
On to my transition book & 2026 reading. 🎊

“Your kind never sees us whole.You miss the half of
it and more. There‘s always as much belowground
as above…If you mind were only a slightly greener
thing, we‘d drown you in meaning”(362).

pickI enjoyed this quick read. It's a story about a boy who wants to cut down the Kapok tree in the rain forest. However, he falls asleep before he can cut it down and everything in nature from the animals to a human whispers to him not to cut down the tree. When he wakes up, does he cut down the tree? You'll have to read it to find out. Cute graphics and great story.
pickThis picture book is wordless and it is perfect the way it is. The stunning artwork shows how the world revolves and changes around a tree as well as the cycle from birth to death of a tree. Just beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Shaun Tan for some reason.

How pretty is this “partridge in a pear tree?”

#DashingThruDecember Day 20: In this illustrated version of e. e. Cummings‘ poem, two siblings celebrate the joy of #WhiteChristmas. My fave lines from the poem:
“put up your little arms
and i‘ll give them all to you to hold
every finger shall have its ring
and there won‘t be a single place dark or unhappy”
