Book description

Why read it?
1 author picked We Planted a Tree as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The title is a refrain that rings around the world, as the children in two families, in two settings, plant a tree.
As in my book, time is a driving element here, bringing to light the cumulative effects of planting trees. Those effects, from clean air and soil retention to the bounty of fruit and the blessings of shade, are beautifully realized in the final page that brings it all back to the young characters and by inference, to the reader.
From Uma's list on picture books about trees.
