Overview / 简介: |
We planted a tree and it grew up,
While it reached for the sky and the sun. . . .
In this simple poem illustrated by award winner Bob Staake, two young families in two very different parts of the world plant a tree. As the trees flourish, so do the families . . . while trees all over the world help clean the air, enrich the soil, and give fruit and shade.
With a nod to Kenya’s successful Green Belt Movement, Diane Muldrow’s elegant text celebrates the life and hope that every tree—from Paris to Brooklyn to Tokyo—brings to our planet. Perfect for young readers! |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 4—With a synergistic mesh of lyrical language and bright, expansive illustrations, this picture book enumerating the many benefits of trees is a winner. Muldrow's poetic text shapes beauty from simple observations: "The sunshine went into the buds,/And soon they burst open./Everywhere it was pink./And we were dizzy/With springtime." As the text describes the growth of the tree and the many benefits it provides (shade, clean air, fruit, sap, and holding the soil, among others), Staake's signature modernized cartoon-style illustrations circle the globe, showing families in New York, Vermont, Japan, Kenya, France, and Italy as they enjoy what the trees have to offer. Enjoyable and informative, this beautiful presentation of a clear ecological message is perfect for sharing on Earth Day, Arbor Day, or in ecology units.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The prose in this book is just wonderful. Just enough repetition to keep younger reader's attention while still imparting some important lessons on how planting a tree impacts the people who planted it as well as the world around it. Which sounds like it'd be a really 'heavy' book, but it's not! Even my older kids were smiling when they finished this book. While the illustrations come back to the two families who plant trees at the beginning of the book, there are pages showing other families/people in other places enjoying trees. (admit I'm still trying to figure out if one page is Greece or Italy, not that it matters since either work!) I also enjoyed that as the tree 'grew', so did the people. I also like that the focus is on what a living tree provides, as opposed to all the uses of wood.
On a side note, if you're looking for a wonderful book to read for Tu B'Shevat (a Jewish holiday which celebrates 'the birthday of the trees'/spring), I'd highly recommend this book. |
