Product Description

In a unique melding of science and poetry, a collection of haiku extols the wonder of trees and explores the vital roles they play on our living planet.

perched on a branch,
the crow's nest amid green sails
a place for daydreams

From the giant tree ferns of the forests primeval to the hardy sycamores of today's urban forests, experience the essence of trees through poems that engage with every season and stage of the life cycle, from seed to photosynthesis. A broad exploration of a majestic subject, this collection of haiku touches on such topics as the importance of trees to other living creatures and the communication of trees with one another through a complex network of roots. Paired with Angela Mckay's bold, bright, beautifully patterned artwork, Sally M. Walker's third collection encourages respect and care for our arboreal neighbors. Back matter includes a time line, an author's note, a glossary, and a select bibliography for curious readers.

From School Library Journal

Gr 2-5 Through short haiku poems, the science and details of trees come to life. Readers will learn about life's interconnectedness with trees, how they change through the seasons, their growth, and their beauty. Some poems are simple, such as the one explaining the shade provided by trees; some poems are quite scientific, like the one detailing how xylem tubes bring water up through the roots, trunks, and branches. The combination of poetry, art, and science provides a unique way of introducing the topic. Colorful art, depicting nature with bold forms and repeating patterns, makes this a great read-aloud for large groups. A time line, author's note, glossary, bibliography, and resources for further exploration are included at the end, along with six pages of scientific explanation.
