Description

One night, the last tree in the forest decides it's time to uproot and leave. A little boy soon realizes what is happening... All the trees have disappeared and holes can be seen where they used to be. Understanding the consequences this will have for animals, humans, and the environment, he sets off to counteract the damage that has already been done. A beautiful story about the importance, care, and preservation of trees, and the small steps we can all take to care for the planet. From award-winning illustrator Silvia Alvarez. Printed on Stone Paper. -Pero sin arboles estamos perdidos... acaso no estas bien aqui -pregunto Goran mientras tosia. -Prefiero irme con mis propias raices antes de que me reduzcan a cenizas o me corten en mil pedacitos -contesto el arbol y, haciendo temblar la tierra, comenzo a desaparecer en aquella asfixiante niebla.

Reviews

"...it will make a conversation-provoking read-aloud. (...) Best when shared with early elementary schoolers by an adult with time and tact for the discussion that will surely follow." -Kirkus Review
