Call Me Tree: Llamame Arbol, Hardcover

In this spare, lyrically written story, we join a child on a journey of self-discovery. Finding a way to grow from the inside out, just like a tree, the child develops as an individual comfortable in the natural world and in relationships with others. The child begins -Within/ The deep dark earth, - like a seed, ready to grow and then dream and reach out to the world. Soon the child discovers birds and the sky and other children: -Trees and trees/ Just like me - Each is different too. The child embraces them all because -All trees have roots/ All trees belong.- Maya Christina Gonzalez once again combines her talents as an artist and a storyteller to craft a gentle, empowering story about belonging, connecting with nature, and becoming your fullest self. Young readers will be inspired to dream and reach, reach and dream . . . and to be as free and unique as trees.
