Once the tree was perched by the river with only its fellow trees for companions. Over the years, the decades, things change slowly and then drastically, the tree always hanging on.
Becker’s newest wordless picture book is as visually engaging as his others, but quieter and more introspective. If you teaching a lesson on man’s effect on the landscape, the enduring capability of nature, or want have a quieter look at one place over time. Kids will want to know if the place is real. Is it?
