Tree Matters

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gangu Bai. With illustrations in the traditional Bhil dot–style and a text drawn from anecdotes from the illustrator, this picture book explains the economic and spiritual value of the forest to India's Bhil people. While the illustrations are attractive and well-set as vignettes on crisp white backgrounds, they aren't always well matched with the text, which is strong in detail but less effective as a whole.
