What’s not to love about trees? They give us apples, oranges and even the maple syrup we put on pancakes! They’re also the champions of fun stuff like treehouses, rope swings and those amazing fall colors. Trees are everywhere, quietly making life better, even though we don’t always notice.
I mean, if you’re holding a book right now, you’re basically holding a tree in disguise! From classics like A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry to the soon-to-be released Just One Oak: What a Single Tree Can Be by Maria Gianferrari, there are countless great reads to help you explore just how awesome trees really are.
