Be a Tree! is a lyrical, gorgeously illustrated look at the majesty of treesā€”and what humans can learn from them.
 
Stand tall.
Stretch your branches to the sun.
Be a tree!
 
We are all like trees: our spines, trunks; our skin, bark; our hearts giving us strength and support, like heartwood. We are fueled by air and sun.
 
And, like humans, trees are social. They ā€œtalkā€ to spread information; they share food and resources. They shelter and take care of one another. They are stronger together.
 
In this gorgeous and poetic celebration of one of natureā€™s greatest creations, acclaimed author Maria Gianferrari and illustrator Felicita Sala both compare us to the beauty and majesty of treesā€”and gently share the ways in which trees can inspire us to be better people.
 
ā€œBy foregrounding living beings that exemplify grace, strength, and endurance, Gianferrari gives readers a new way to think about their individual and collective existences.ā€ ā€”Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
