Description
This book encourages students to look at the natural world around them through a different lens. Text and pictures are used to follow the journey of a single tree throughout an entire year. The author weaves thoughts and emotions into the text and illustrations. The reader is prompted to reflect on the changes taking place in the life of the tree and how these changes make the reader feel.
