[ 책 소개 ]

우리가 나무를 심고 정성껏 가꾸면, 나무는 우리에게 큰 보답을 해줍니다.

봄에는 화려한 꽃을 피우고, 여름에는 시원한 그늘을 제공해 주며, 가을에는 맛있는 과일이 달리고, 겨울에는 다람쥐와 새가 즐겨먹는 도토리를 제공해 주지요.

나무들은 우리가 호흡할 수 있도록 신선한 산소를 만들고, 공해를 제거해서 공기를 깨끗하게 만듭니다.

나무는 사과, 오렌지, 밤, 감과 같이 우리가 즐겨 먹는 다양한 과일과, 달콤한 시럽을 제공해주고,

나무는 땅에 물을 머금게 하고, 지력을 유지하게 도와주기 때문에 땅을 건강하게 만듭니다. 이런 건강한 땅에 우리는 옥수수, 콩, 채소, 양파, 양배추 등 우리 식탁에 오르는 다양한 농작물을 재배합니다.

우리가 나무를 한그루 심을 때마다, 이 세상은 더욱 살기 좋아지며,
나무 한그루는 우리가 사는 지구를 치유해서 더욱 건강하게 만들어 줍니다.

What is 페이퍼백? 표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

페이퍼백입니다.

Book Description
In this simple poem with environmental themes, illustrated by award-winning artist Bob Staake, two young families in two very different parts of the world each plant a tree. As the trees flourish, so do the families... while trees all over the world help clean the air, enrich the soil, and give fruit and shade.

With a nod to Kenya's successful Green Belt Movement, Diane Muldrow's elegant text celebrates the life and hope that every tree-from Paris to Brooklyn to Tokyo-brings to our planet. Now in paperback, this book can be enjoyed by children in classrooms everywhere.


School Library Journal
With a synergistic mesh of lyrical language and bright, expansive illustrations, this picture book enumerating the many benefits of trees is a winner. Muldrow's poetic text shapes beauty from simple observations: "The sunshine went into the buds,/And soon they burst open./Everywhere it was pink./And we were dizzy/With springtime." As the text describes the growth of the tree and the many benefits it provides (shade, clean air, fruit, sap, and holding the soil, among others), Staake's signature modernized cartoon-style illustrations circle the globe, showing families in New York, Vermont, Japan, Kenya, France, and Italy as they enjoy what the trees have to offer. Enjoyable and informative, this beautiful presentation of a clear ecological message is perfect for sharing on Earth Day, Arbor Day, or in ecology units.


Booklist
A family in Brooklyn plants a tree in their small backyard; turn the page and a Kenyan family plants a tree on the bare African savannah. Then in Paris, Tokyo, and more places across the globe, each newly planted tree grows up, as the children in the family do. Muldrow weaves some science into the lines: “Sunshine went into the leaves / And brought food to the tree,” and through the seasons, the trees grow beautiful pink blossoms, green leaves that help clean the air, and fruit, while their roots keep the soil from blowing away and provide a place for families to plant food. Illustrating the simple poetry are clean-lined digital illustrations that show the botany details and celebrate the connections between plants and people, present and long-term, across time and space, as each generation continues the conservation efforts and helps “heal the earth.”
