Overview / 简介: |
Tess loved her tree.
She liked to swing on it
and sit in its shade
and catch its leaves in the fall.
When Tess's tree has to come down, Tess is very sad . . . until she finds a way to gather friends and family and celebrate her tree's remarkable life.
This is a book for sharing with people you love, among good friends, or on a quiet day under a favorite tree.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I am a father, grandfather and great grandfather, and dealing with the D word with children has always been a bit problematic. I recently bought a book for the g-grandson for a little later that deals directly with the passing of an elderly relative, and though it is good it is probably a little too direct for a child below seven years. So I was very happy to see Tess's Tree deal with this subject "on the bias", as it were. Love, positive experiences, decline and loss and memory are dealt with very cleverly and satisfyingly through the tree that Tess so loves and enjoys. It is an admirable feat, one that I have been able to read to my 39 month old great grandson who really got it. He was sad with Tess, grieved with her, went through a period of recollection, and came to an understanding of the finiteness of a beloved tree and its place in the life of many. This is clearly a life lesson devoid of cudgel, affectionately parsed, beautifully illustrated, doing its job in preparing kids for the nature of life. Bravo |
