An exquisite, lovingly crafted meditation on plants, trees, and our place in the natural world, in the tradition of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass and Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek “I was tired of speed. I wanted to live tree time.” So writes Sumana Roy at the start of How I Became a Tree, her captivating, adventurous, and self-reflective vision of what it means to be human in the natural world. Drawn to trees’ wisdom, their nonviolent way of being, their ability to cope with loneliness and pain, Roy movingly explores the lessons that writers, painters, photographers, scientists, and spiritual figures have gleaned through their engagement with trees—from Rabindranath Tagore to Tomas Tranströmer, Ovid to Octavio Paz, William Shakespeare to Margaret Atwood. Her stunning meditations on forests, plant life, time, self, and the exhaustion of being human evoke the spacious, relaxed rhythms of the trees themselves. Hailed upon its original publication in India as “a love song to plants and trees” and “an ode toall that is unnoticed, ill, neglected, and yet resilient,” How I Became a Tree blends literary history, theology, philosophy, botany, and more, and ultimately prompts readers to slow down and to imagine a reenchanted world in which humans live more like trees.

"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. This is a tender story, touched with sadness, aglow with consolation. Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.

This is a story of a young girl who is inspired by her curiosity about a Tree. She realizes that the Tree has wisdom to share and learns that it is not just a tree but that she is just like that tree in many ways. She realizes that we were not meant to be alone and hidden away from the world and that we all have a purpose. She learns who she is and what her purpose is by spending time with the tree She calls "The Tree of Miracles". She also learns how to let go when she gives the tree an opportunity to bring miracles to everyone that hugs it. She wanted others to be given the same miracle she had experienced. I hope my story inspires you to keep striving towards your true calling and to believe that you can live your life feeling confident and safe to express your true self and abilities. Each and everyone of us has something unique to share and when we allow ourselves to explore it, we realize it is this very unique thing that we were afraid to express is in fact, what gives birth to our true authentic self and embodiment of the true purpose we were created for. We should never diminish or downplay our role in this world. We may feel it is insignificant but just like a christmas tree, if one light stops working, the tree is never the same, and sometimes when one goes out, it creates a short in the others connected to it. You may just be that light that is leading the others in that group that is a smaller group part of a larger group that is connected to the source light of creation. What if your sole purpose is to just be you and shine your light so others know where to go, it may seem like a small role to have in this world but knowing how important your light is for others also can sometimes be the motivation you need to try again. When it comes to your life, your happiness, your right to live and experience your full potential; trying again is not a failure, trying again is a strength and a source of inspiration for others. To keep trying when you have no physical proof that anything you are striving for will ever come true; this is faith. And each time you try again; God is developing in you the courage to lead, the strength to keep going and the embodiment of His wisdom which can then be shared as a light of hope to others because it is your story, your personal life experiences and obstacles that you overcame as opportunities to grow that share the REAL testimony for how truly loved you are and that it is possible to change our unwanted circumstances if we are willing to believe with a burning passion of our desire to fulfill our goals and most importantly, we keep trying in the midst of hardships. This is the type of story that can transform your disbelief into belief instantly! It can turn your fear into gratitude as you feel God's love all around you and receive the truth that there is no way of measuring or defining this love that is always flowing through you.

“Only God can make a tree,” wrote Joyce Kilmer in one of the most celebrated of poems. In Tree: A Life Story, authors David Suzuki and Wayne Grady extend that celebration in a “biography” of this extraordinary — and extraordinarily important — organism. A story that spans a millennium and includes a cast of millions but focuses on a single tree, a Douglas fir, Tree describes in poetic detail the organism’s modest origins that begin with a dramatic burst of millions of microscopic grains of pollen. The authors recount the amazing characteristics of the species, how they reproduce and how they receive from and offer nourishment to generations of other plants and animals. The tree’s pivotal role in making life possible for the creatures around it — including human beings — is lovingly explored. The richly detailed text and Robert Bateman’s original art pay tribute to this ubiquitous organism that is too often taken for granted.
A small fir tree is left all alone after the other trees near it in the forest are chosen by families at Christmas. But when the forest animals gather around the lonely little tree to cheer it up and celebrate the season, it finds festive love and warmth in the heart of a cold, snowy forest.
Picture a tree -- what do YOU see? Picture a tree, from every season, and from every angle. These wondrous beings give shade and shelter. They protect, and bring beauty to, any landscape. Now look again. Look closer. A tree's colours both soothe and excite. Its shape can ignite the imagination and conjure a pirate ship, a bear cave, a clubhouse, a friend; an ocean, a tunnel, and a home sweet home. Its majestic presence evokes family, growth, changes, endings and new beginnings. Picture a tree -- what do you see? The possibilities are endless. In this gorgeous new picture book, Barbara Reid brings her vision, her craft, and her signature Plasticine artwork to the subject of trees. Each page is a celebration, and you will never look at trees in quite the same way again.
The elementary tale of the life cycle of a tree, from its beginnings as a sapling to its demise on the forest floor, where it decomposes and becomes "a home for rabbits, and food for flowers", is also a life lesson for people. In this enhanced version, enjoy read-along, some fun animations, and a coloring page!
"The Torah is called the Tree of Life. Just as a tree is always growing and changing, the Torah's ideas can help us grow and change, too. Yoga can do the same. Both can help us strengthen ourselves, calm our minds, and learn to appreciate the world around us. Written by rabbi and certified yoga instructor Mychal Copeland, I Am the Tree of Life encourages us to explore both the world of yoga and the stories of the Bible and find meaning in both"--Amazon.com.
