Kids Treehouse Book “Be a Tree"
Be a Tree!
‘Be a Tree!’ is a wonderfully poetic book about the things that nature and trees can teach us – if we are willing to look closely. A very beautiful message, wrapped up in child-friendly stories and enchantingly illustrated by Felicita Sala.
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
An encouraging impetus to take our cue from nature and a valuable message that we are all part of the same forest.
‘Once you've read [Be Like a Tree!], you'll understand why some great poets have said that trees are our brothers.’
Be like a tree! is a unique combination of non-fiction and an invitation to philosophise together with children.
What we can learn from trees
We are all like trees: we need air and sunlight to live – and we need each other. Trees live in communities, just like humans. They share food and resources, offer each other protection and care for one another. Because together, they are stronger.
For us adults, the book is a gentle guide to walking mindfully through the world. For our children, there is plenty to discover in 40 enchanting watercolours – we love this book!
The Tree
‘Stand up straight. Stretch your branches towards the sun. Be a tree!’
The roots
‘Let your roots twist and turn, anchoring you to the earth to ground you.’
The leaves
‘We clean the air. We anchor the soil and prevent erosion. Our dome of interconnected crowns sways and straightens to slow down strong winds.’
