Picture A Tree

“Picture a tree. What do you see?” is Barbara Reid’s challenge to the young reader. The exquisite art in this book was made with Plasticine that was shaped and pressed onto illustration board depicting trees putting on snow-suits or glowing in the darkness. Trees can also serve as a tunnel of leaves or an ocean of greens, a bear cave or a clubhouse for agile limbs and grasping hands. This is a book that invites a young child to look at trees with fresh eyes, seeing things never before imagined.
