THE CITY TREE

In this enchanting and informative picture book with environmental themes, a newly planted sidewalk tree transforms the neighborhood as residents nurture it through the seasons.

Vibrantly illustrated and with extensive backmatter, this is a lovely ode to how trees make cities - and communities - better. Perfect for fans of The Night Gardener and The Curious Garden.

Key selling points:
A TREE AND CITY BOOK: This book does double-duty and will appeal to fans of The Curious Garden, The Night Gardener, and The Giving Tree, but also urban tales that celebrate city living such as Thank You, Omu!, Blackout, and Last Stop on Market Street.
INSPIRES ENGAGEMENT: Will inspire young, future activists in creating a carbon-free future (a huge piece of that solution is planting and nurturing trees).
AN ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY ANSWER TO THE GIVING TREE: In this book, the tree survives, thrives, and grows to great heights under the protagonist's watchful care.
DETAILED BACKMATTER: empowers kids as activists and invites them to know and care for the trees in their own neighborhood.
