Why read it?
1 author picked We Planted a Tree as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

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.
