Book Review – The Reading Tree

I simply loved this book. What a great connect to nature it provides.

With the beauty of this earth in the forefront of our minds, the story of this beautiful tree that spans the life of one reader and helps them create a legacy is transcendent! I so love what the author has said without saying, that our legacy is our children and our stories. It is so important for us to reach out with our kindness to those we love and all that provides for us. A timeless and much needed lesson of our times.

Another thing which will strike you is the trip down memory lane, if you are an avid reader. Of how your love for reading grew and got passed on to your children and your community.

My kids and I often take books to the park and sit and read. This brought up so many fun memories.

A very well written book with illustrations reminiscent of my childhood story books. This would make a great read for kids aged 5-9. My kids and I had wonderful conversations that spanned our love for reading to our responsibility to the environment and much more.
