Summary: Great opportunity to discuss an environmental concern
Comment: From endpaper to endpaper this story signifies the importance of ecological conservation, specifically in the old growth forests. Told from the perspective of an 800 year old Douglas fir, we as readers are given the opportunity to witness the life within the forest firsthand. Following the growth of the tree, we gain an understanding of the interconnectedness of forest life and grasp an idea of the impact of its demise. The words, though written in English by the author, are truly the lyrics to the tree's song which sings of flowing rivers, grizzly claws, and a lone wolf's cry and asks questions of who will fulfill this role when the tree no longer stands. The emotions offered by the poetic words are illuminated through the sensations depicted in the representational artwork. This unity of text and image exemplifies the interconnectedness of the old growth forest. Just as the story requires investigation into the depletion of old growth forests, the beautifully composed illustrations encourage close examination by incorporating hidden images on several pages. These concealed images represent two authentic Native American totems and include many species of animals that are threatened by extinction. The dedications, forewords and afterword all contribute to the richness of this story and should not be missed. This book offers a real life depiction of the seriousness of the situation while simultaneously offering a message of hope.

Summary: The Tree
Comment: Deftly written by Dana Lyons, The Tree is beautifully illustrated by David Danioth and is enthusiastically recommended as an engaging, impressive, full color picturebook for beginning readers. This is a truly memorable story about the joy a tree feels giving life, shade, sustenance, and comfort. Yet the threat of human expansion and destruction could destroy the tree, unless humans band together to save it. A brief postscript with facts about the Pacific rainforest rounds out this charming, ecology-minded picturebook tale.
