pick#JulyJazz Day 5: This is a gorgeously-illustrated title that demonstrates our one-ness with everything around us: from the tree to its fruits, from the wind to the bees, from the roots to the sky. It is an ode to nature, and the fact that we are #indivisible from it. It is told in such a lyrical way and the art is absolutely gorgeous.
pickI had previously read the author‘s graphic novel, The Boy and the Man, which detailed the author‘s life and struggles recovering from his stroke. I enjoyed the graphic novel so I was excited to read his poetry collection.
This poetry collection is a poetry interpretation of the same events. I found this interpretation to be even better than the graphic novel.

I loved how this book "the tree in me" had a more deep rooted meaning about the main characters life story.
pickThe tree in me is an amazing book that can identify being "strong" and talks about your roots.
“I am the tree, and the tree is me.“ This quote captures the book‘s theme, illustrating the deep connection between the child and the tree, and highlighting the reflection of personal qualities in nature.
I would use this book in my classroom to offer an opportunity for engaging students in discussions about nature, self-awareness, and personal growth.
pickThe Tree in Me by Corinna Luyken is a picture book that explores the connection between nature and our own inner selves. Published in 2018. The story follows a child who sees themselves reflected in a tree. As the child looks at the tree‘s features, they recognize how they share qualities with it. This book uses illustrations to demonstrate themes of growth and resilience.
