<i>We planted a tree and it grew up,<br><br>While it reached for the sky and the sun. . . .<br></i><br>In this simple poem illustrated by award winner Bob Staake, two young families in two very different parts of the world plant a tree. As the trees flourish, so do the families . . . while trees all over the world help clean the air, enrich the soil, and give fruit and shade.<br><br>With a nod to Kenya's successful Green Belt Movement, Diane Muldrow's elegant text celebrates the life and hope that every tree - from Paris to Brooklyn to Tokyo - brings to our planet. Perfect for young readers!
