* "An exquisitely crafted call to honor ourselves, one another and the natural world." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "This bilingual story is an anthem to the innate strength and individuality of children and trees...Gonzalez's art and text invite reader participation on multiple levels, thereby appealing to a wider audience." -- School Library Journal "The art has a magically realistic feel, as children become one with the roots, trunks, and branches of their trees." -- Booklist Best Books of the Year, Honorable Mention, The Huffington Post Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Tejas Star Reading List, Texas Library Association (TLA), * "An exquisitely crafted call to honor ourselves, one another and the natural world." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "This bilingual story is an anthem to the innate strength and individuality of children and trees...Gonzalez's art and text invite reader participation on multiple levels, thereby appealing to a wider audience." -- School Library Journal "The art has a magically realistic feel, as children become one with the roots, trunks, and branches of their trees." -- Booklist Best Books of the Year, The Huffington Post CCBC Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Tejas Star Reading List, Texas Library Association (TLA), The author ofI Know the River Loves Me / Yo sé que el río me ama (2009) offers a bilingual picture book that presents the triumphant journey from seed to tree, conveying a deep appreciation for nature. A seed, depicted as a little boy, nestles deep underground. He wakes up and grows into a strong tree, free yet rooted. When he awakens, he sees other trees, presented on the page as an array of ethnically diverse children, standing and moving in their own ways. The text is brief, lyrical, and equally expressive in both the English and Spanish. "Some sing songs / Some sing along / All trees have roots / All trees belong // Unos cantan canciones / Otros se unen al coro / Todos los árboles tienen raíces / Todos los árboles tienen un lugar." Reading the text aloud invites the incorporation of creative movement, such as yoga or dance, and is sure to engage younger and older children alike. Visionary illustrations stretch vibrant colors across the pages, with details that encourage readers to sit with the book and explore. Most notably, the author/illustrator excels at using few words to evoke grand imagery, relaying a powerful message to children: We are all our own trees--equal, vital and free.

The pages are colorful, with images created in watercolor, ink and color pencil. The story focuses on a Chican@ child on a journey of self-discovery. Finding a way to grow from the inside out, just like a tree, the child develops as an individual comfortable in the natural world and in relationships with others." -- LatinLife.com " Call Me Tree is a Spanish/English bilingual picture book about witnessing the majestic beauty of trees, especially ancient tress, through the eyes of a child. The simple, prose poem text neatly complements the expressive life of the colorful illustrations. An excellent book especially for little ones who are just beginning to learn the art and joy of reading! " -- Midwest Book Review Best Books of the Year, Honorable Mention, The Huffington Post Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) Tejas Star Reading List, Texas Library Association (TLA), This bilingual story is an anthem to the innate strength and individuality of children and trees. As a tree is nurtured so is a child. Both begin as seeds striving for expression as they break free and reach for the sky: "I dream/I am reaching/Dreaming and reaching/Reaching and dreaming." Double-page spreads in watercolor, ink, and colored pencil are bright and whimsical featuring pink clouds and curlicue stars. The children depicted reflect the diversity of humanity, just as the different species of trees reflect the natural world of which they are an essential part. The text is slight but lyrical and reads well both in English and in Spanish. Many of the children are portrayed in variations of the yoga tree pose--providing an opportunity for inquisitive readers to ask questions in regards to yoga and its practice. Gonzalez's art and text invite reader participation on multiple levels, thereby appealing to a wider audience, This pastoral celebration of trees employs lyrical language (in both English and Spanish) that urges children to emulate saplings by growing free and standing tall in the world. "I begin / Within / The deep / dark / earth / A seed / A tree / Free to be free." Later, when more mature, the children (or trees) observe: "A tree I am / a tree I stand / On a sidewalk / On a mountain / By a river or road." Finally, a young boy concludes, "Call me tree / Because / I am tall / I am strong / And like a tree / I am free." The author and illustrator of I Know the River Loves Me / Yo s? que el r'o me ama (2009) here offers vibrantly hued illustrations depicting diverse children mimicking trees by forming their bodies into various yoga positions. The art has a magically realistic feel, as children become one with the roots, trunks, and branches of their trees. This makes a good choice for story hour dramatizations, particularly for Arbor Day or the Jewish festival of Tu B'shvat., "Most notably, the author/illustrator excels at using few words to evoke grand imagery, relaying a powerful message to children: We are all our own trees--equal, vital and free.

Synopsis
An imaginary bilingual English/Spanish tale of self-discovery told by a child who grows, learns about the natural world, embraces others, and is free to become who they are meant to be--a child as unique as a tree. What does it mean to be like a tree? For one young child, it all begins as a tiny seed that is free to grow and reach out to others while standing strong and tall- just like a tree in the natural world. With this gentle and imaginative story about becoming your fullest self, Maya Gonzalez empowers young readers to dream and reach... and to be as free and unique as trees., In this spare, lyrically written story, we join a child on a journey of self-discovery. Finding a way to grow from the inside out, just like a tree, the child develops as an individual comfortable in the natural world and in relationships with others. The child begins "Within/ The deep dark earth," like a seed, ready to grow and then dream and reach out to the world. Soon the child discovers birds and the sky and other children: "Trees and trees/ Just like me!" Each is different too. The child embraces them all because "All trees have roots/ All trees belong." Maya Christina Gonzalez once again combines her talents as an artist and a storyteller to craft a gentle, empowering story about belonging, connecting with nature, and becoming your fullest self. Young readers will be inspired to dream and reach, reach and dream . . . and to be as free and unique as trees., An imaginary bilingual English/Spanish tale of self-discovery told by a child who grows, learns about the natural world, embraces others, and is free to become who they are meant to be--a child as unique as a tree., In this spare, lyrically written story, we join a child on a journey of self-discovery.

Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
