SynopsisThrough evocative prose and watercolor illustrations, The Survivor Tree: Inspired by a True Story takes the reader on a journey of hope and healing that parallels our nation's own journey following the events of September 11, 2001. A month after the collapse of the Twin Towers, workers on the site discovered a few green leaves showing through the gray concrete and ash. Clearing the debris, they found a badly injured Callery Pear Tree. She was rescued, taken to a nursery outside the city, and put in the care of Richie, a City Parks Worker. No one was sure if she would live. But the following spring, a dove built a nest in her branches and new green buds appeared. Over the years, the tree, although still bearing scars, grew tall and strong. She is planted in a place of honor on the 9/11 Memorial Plaza and now known as "The 9/11 Survivor Tree." This story imaginatively describes the experience, memories, and feelings of the tree throughout her healing and her eventual return home. All profits from the sale of this book go to charity., The Survivor Tree is a story about hope and recovery that parallels our nation's own journey following the events of 9/11. A small branch and a few green leaves peeked out from the rubble left by the collapse of the Twin Towers. Several New York City workers spotted the leaves a month later and soon discovered a badly injured Callery Pear Tree under the debris. She was rescued and brought to a nursery, but no one was sure if she would live. That first spring, a dove made a nest in the tree, and green buds starting forming on the tree's branches. She would live. With great care over many years, the Callery Pear Tree, still bearing the scars from her injuries, recovered and is now planted on the 9/11 Memorial Plaza.
