The Happiest Tree: A Story of Growing Up

36 pp. | Feiwel | April, 2019 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-14567-3 $18.99
(3) K-3 A ginkgo tree tells its story of growing up watching the human inhabitants of a multistory apartment building. As the happy tree ages, it learns that sadness and loneliness are also part of life. The earthy palette and thin, delicate lines successfully evoke feelings of happiness, loneliness, and sadness while the changing of the leaves implies the passage of time.
