Without trees, nothing on Earth would exist. There would be no people, no animals, no plants.
There are amazing trees that live in our world—yellow poplar, American beech, crape myrtle, and so many more! But how do you know which ones are which? Follow along in this heartwarming tale as a father lovingly teaches his son to identify eight common trees in a park and then surprises him with his own tree to plant and nurture.
With beautiful, realistic illustrations and true facts interwoven throughout the story, A Tree for Me makes learning about trees fun!
And as a bonus, resources to help you pick and plant a tree are included at the end of the story, so you can surprise your child with a trip to the nursery and their very own “tree for me.”

Have you ever questioned your creation and identity? What are we really good for?!
Have you ever questioned your creation and identity? What are we really good for?! The black plastic button of this story wants to know the answer to this question and tries many different places and positions, but fits nowhere; finally, he is placed as an eye of a snowman, and yes he looks great there.
Great as a button tells us there has been a purpose for our creation and whatever we look like and how simple and ordinary we may be, we can look great if we find our own place. If parents need to cope with their children’s self-esteem and self-confidence, then this is a story to read.
