Every tree has its own story to tell in this evocative collection of poems celebrating the many varieties—from maple to willow to oak. There are so many different kinds of trees in the world, and each has special qualities that make it unique. This lyrical, fanciful collection of poems celebrates the singular beauty of each tree, from the gnarled old apple tree to the tall and graceful aspen.
Reviews with the most likes.
Trees is a book of simple poems, each one celebrating a type of tree. Maples, aspens, oaks, palms, pussy willows, apple trees, red buds, spruses, dogwoods, sycamores, pines, willows, birches, sequoias—all these types of trees have a poem and an illustration devoted to them.
If you are a tree lover, as I am, or even if you are not (this book may make you one), you probably need to read Trees by Verlie Hutchens.
Here is a sample:
Aspens, tall and graceful,
dances on her tippy toes.
Her golden leaves like castanets
shimmer in the breeze.
