Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 11/01/2025 Gr 2–4—With a mix of colorful paintings, informative text, and poetry, Beckerman shares a variety of information about forests—how trees communicate, wildfires, kelp forests that grow in the ocean, and more. Readers are shown forests throughout the world, the important role they play, the need to protect them, and the joy of celebrating them. The illustrations reward careful study to find and discuss the many details of forest life. Back matter includes an author's note, which contains activities for befriending a tree, directions for planting one, and a list of fascinating facts about forests around the world. VERDICT The book could stimulate readers to discuss, research, write about, and draw the forests in their neighborhood as well as those around the world. A good introduction to an important topic.—Myra Zarnowski - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
