STARRED REVIEW! ? ""A child and a tree grow and develop side by side... Translated from French, Jaoui’s conversational text is spare yet playful as child and tree comment on their similarities. Crahay’s watercolorlike art is simultaneously majestic and quirky, with sweet-faced insects or snails smiling up at readers. Simple but effective die cuts appear on nearly every spread... As the child embraces the tree, a diverse group of youngsters hug trees of their own, ... sending an affirming message: Despite our perceived differences, each of us is truly 'one of Earth’s children.' Much like life itself, this story is a gift that deserves to be shared."" * Kirkus Reviews * The die cuts are so key... The whole book has this peek-through element to it, which makes it a great way to show [the] parallels between plants and people. -- Betsy Bird * A Fuse #8 Production (A School Library Journal blog) *
