TOM'S TREE by Gillian Shields and Gemma Raynor is an incredibly sweet book about a little boy who plants a tree and makes big plans about all the things he will do when the tree gets big. But trees take a long time to grow and the boy grows up before the tree does. At the end of the book, the returns as a man and brings his own son who gets to have all the adventures with the tree that his father always dreamed of. While the book has a lot to say about patience, it is also a wonderful reminder of the beauty and joy of nature in general and trees in particular.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! It definitely brought a tear or two to my eyes.
