HOW THE TREES GOT THEIR VOICES
$16.95Price
by Susan Andra Lion
While camping with a group of girls, Susan Andra Lion was given this tale about trees, nature and also the relationship of living things within a forest ecosystem. This highly visual story book not only presents a fascinating story that children ages 3 and older will enjoy, but also tells a second story about animals, plants, birds, and the Earth itself. Children will learn about the integrated way in which Earth’s inhabitants live in relationship to each other, and learn the value of respect for each form of life.
The tale helps its readers to regard their world as a complex tapestry of life and living things. Children will be delighted by the thumbnail descriptions which surround the outside of each page, inviting them in and helping them learn about the world of the forest. This medium of a “two-level” story creates a unique, shared experience between children and the people who read to them because they are sharing the visual experience of this wonderful story and forest world together.
