My Tree and Me

My Tree and Me

By Jo Witek | Illustrated by Christine Roussey

One little girl has a very special friend — the tall, ancient tree in her backyard. As the seasons change, she grows alongside the tree, playing in its branches, swinging from its limbs, and basking in its shade. Whether she's drawing, picnicking, or playing hide-and-seek, the tree is always there, steady and strong.

Through her time with the tree, she learns to appreciate nature as something to be savored and protected — and discovers her own place within the natural world.
