Description
A simple story of being given gifts to share and wanting just one more – a charming, lyrical modern “myth.” Children 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. A “two-level” story, children also are delighted by the thumbnail facts on the edges of each page.
How the Trees Got Their Voices is the recipient of 18 national awards, including Winner, Moonbeam Children’s Literacy Award; and Winner, Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Award. Written and illustrated by Susan Andra Lion; published by Satiama, LLC – www.satiama.com. Hardcover.
