Under My Tree

Under My Tree
by Muriel Tallandier (Author), Mizuho Fujisawa (Illustrator) and Sarah Klinger (Translator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: When Susanne leaves her city home to visit her grandmother, she finds a very special tree of her own in the forest. Each time she returns to the tree, she observes something unique about it–from the sheltering protection of its branches to the scratchy surface of its bark.

Interwoven in the fiction text are unique facts about trees and simple activities that encourage readers to touch, smell, and observe the world that is all around them.
