Dani lived in a city of bricks, buses, glass and steel until one day the city planted a tree right in front of her apartment building. Now she could hear birds instead of garbage trucks. The tree helped the neighborhood enjoy all the seasons. Dani and others took care of it and helped it to thrive. How did the tree help the city and the neighborhood? 

I loved learning about the many ways trees transform a large city. The story helps the reader look closer at nature and the benefits of trees. The illustrations are delightful and portray a fun, busy, human world incorporating the tree into their lives through all seasons. I enjoyed the fact sheets at the end of the book.
