Picture a Tree

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-6526-1 $16.99
(1) K-3 In a series of vibrant Plasticine compositions, Reid focuses attention on tree shapes, colors, and textures: wet black bark in a rainstorm, an evergreen bowed down with snow, the staring knotholes of a birch. Parallel to these tree portraits are linked human stories, with one tree shading a trio of awkward teen boys, longing to be cool. The premise is original; the artistry, stunning.
