Illustrated by
Cyd Moore.
It's the mid-1800s, and prairie dweller Katie, her dad, and the townsfolk take up a collection, order some trees by telegraph, plant them, and begin a tradition of gathering in celebration once a year. This quiet story's primary value is its window onto a simpler time, reflected in the verdant watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations.

Holiday Histories series.
This updated series presents brief, easy-to-read introductions to several American holidays. Each book reports on the holiday's history and how it's celebrated today. The clean design is easy to follow and makes effective use of historical illustrations, but many of the stock photos are dull. There are six other fall 2006 books in this series. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Holiday Histories titles: Arbor Day, Labor Day, Earth Day, Election Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Veterans Day.
