My Tree and Me: A Book of Seasons by Jo Witek Illustrated by Christine Roussey

In my backyard, I have a tall friend.
He's so big, his head is in the clouds, and he has birds in his hair.
He is more than a hundred years old, Mom told me.
I call him My Tree.

One little girl has a very special friend, the tall ancient tree in her backyard. Through the seasons, she grows along with the tree, playing in its branches and basking in its shade. She can swing and have a picnic, draw the tree and play hide and go seek. Through her time with her tree, the girl learns to appreciate the natural world as something to be savored and protected and acknowledges her place within it

Features a die-cut cover and pages throughout the book, to illustrate the changing shape and colours of trees through the seasons.

The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a toddler's emotional development, from conquering fears and expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.
