Cool Green is a beautiful and informative introduction to some of the world's most fascinating trees. -Margarita Engle, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Surrender Tree and Young People's Poet Laureate Emerita
This globe-trotting, poetic homage pays tribute to some of nature's most unusual trees. . . a deep dive into a fascinating aspect of the natural world. . . . A thought-provoking arboreal exploration. -Kirkus Reviews This poetic picture book introduces young readers to some of the reasons why trees are astounding. . . . Illustrations done in acrylic paint, stamped leaf prints, and collaged specimens are able to provide interesting details and dynamic angles of the fascinating flora. -Booklist Readers learn about each tree by following the path of a young girl and her abuelo as they work together checking on and caring for trees. . . . Delacre's declaration of the essential role of trees is admirable and should be heeded by all; in text and pictures she makes clear their beauty and uniqueness. -School Library Journal Coconut palms, monkey puzzles, baobabs, and many others appear in this stylized visual celebration of trees' many magnificent features. An opening exchange between a Latinx-cued child and their abuelo ( Why am I in awe of trees?/ Trees are astounding! ) frames affectionate verse that highlights the surprising characteristics of coniferous and deciduous varieties alike. -Publishers Weekly Cool Green is a beautiful and informative introduction to some of the world's most fascinating trees. -Margarita Engle, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Surrender Tree and Young People's Poet Laureate Emerita
