Under My Tree by Muriel Tallandier and Mizuho Fujisawa is my September Book of the Month that celebrates nature and encourages appreciating our Earth's environment. Such a beautiful thing is a child's love of our planet.
Summary: During a visit to her grandparents, Susanne leaves the city behind and journeys into the forest. There she discovers how incredible the natural world can be in this charming story of friendship between a curious child and her favorite tree.
Ages: 3 to 8 years old"And so, I said goodbye to my tree. I squeezed her tightly and rested my head against her trunk. --Thank you, friend, for making me so happy."
I can tell a lot of effort was put into this picture book with the colorful and bright pictures, the loving storyline involving friendship and nature, the structure of the book, and the helpful discussion questions on most pages.
This book would be perfect for any child who loves playing in nature, needs to learn about the seasons, wants to hear a friendship story that let's them think outside of the box, and for fun suggestions on how to learn from a tree. There is also a counting element in this book when counting Susanne's visits to her favorite tree.
Tallandier and Fujisawa's book will make their readers want to find their favorite tree.
