Description
Through poetic text and exquisite illustrations of children reveling in nature, this picture book explores the various ways we as human beings are strong, creative, and connected to others. Each of us is like a tree, with roots and fruit, and an enduring link to everything else in nature. „The tree in me is strong. It bends in the wind, and has roots that go deep . . . to where other roots reach up toward their own trunk-branch-crown and sky.“
As Corinna Luyken did in her award-winning My Heart, she again provides an invigorating conversation-starter that contains a world of truths–about self-esteem, community, and living a meaningful life. Über den Autor Corinna Luyken makes art in the Pacific Northwest, where she is inspired by small things (like hearts, tree, and mistakes); and by big things (like love, nature, and the web of relationship that connects us all). She is the author/illustrator of two previous picture books, My Heart (a New York Times Best Seller) and The Book of Mistakes, and the illustrator of Adrian Simcox Does Not Have a Horse and Nothing in Common. Zusammenfassung Self-esteem: First and foremost, this is a book about understanding your own strength and wonder (as in books such as Dear Girl and I Am Enough).
Respecting the environment: This is also a celebration of nature and a statement about the importance of the natural world, and will work beautifully in classroom lessons about conservation and on Earth Day displays in stores and libraries.
The value of community: We are all connected and are nourished by our smaller and larger communities; this book gloriously expresses that essential fact.
The parent/child connection: The final moment in the book-a scene of a child honoring a parent-will be appreciated and embraced by moms and dads.
Mindfulness: The gentle pace and particular focus of this book make it an excellent choice for a mindfulness practice with children.
A Star on the rise: Corinna Luyken has been widely acclaimed, compared to artists such as Erin Stead, and her books have appeared on many best of the year lists. She has a distinctive and exhilarating artistry and voice.
