A Tree for Me

Explore nature and nurture your love for gardening, perfect for Arbor Day, Father's Day, and beyond!

There are amazing trees that live in our world-yellow poplar, American beech, crepe myrtle, and so many more! But how do you know which ones are which?

Follow along in this heartwarming tale as a father lovingly teaches his son to identify eight common trees in a park and then surprises him with his own tree to plant and nurture. With beautiful, realistic illustrations and true facts interwoven throughout the story, A Tree for Me makes learning about trees fun! And as a bonus, resources to help you pick and plant a tree are included at the end of the story, so you can surprise your child with a trip to the nursery and their very own "tree for me."
