About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the natural world tucked into the corners of your neighborhood, or when they ask why a tree is growing in the middle of a concrete sidewalk. It is an ideal choice for fostering environmental stewardship and a sense of belonging within a local community. The book explores the complex life of the urban forest, explaining how trees survive and thrive in city environments while providing essential benefits to humans and animals alike. Through a lens of wonder and gratitude, it encourages children to see trees as living neighbors rather than just background scenery. Geared toward elementary schoolers, it transforms a simple walk to school into a scientific and emotional exploration of the leafy giants that share our streets.
