Spring, summer, fall, and winter — trees are magicians that transform beautifully with every season. And that's not all the magic they can do! Let's take a look at all the wonderful tricks trees can perform. Trees are truly our precious friends! Trees are magicians. They can stretch all the way up to the sky. They dress up with clouds and wear new hairpins made of birds. Lined up in a row, they become a tunnel. Spread out wide, they become a sea. A big tree becomes a wonderful home for animals, and a dear friend to children. What other amazing magic can trees perform? Trees Are Wonderful! is a creative picture book that introduces children to all the good that trees bring into our lives. The realistic, three-dimensional illustrations were created using clay. Through this picture book, children can discover the role trees play in our everyday lives, how much we benefit from them, and learn about their ecology. The Tree That Gives Everything Trees purify polluted air and create fresh air, become furniture and paper, provide places for people to rest, and protect the soil from droughts and floods. Like a parent who gives up their own portion of food to feed a hungry child, trees give everything to people without holding anything back. Take a look at Trees Are Wonderful! It beautifully shows how trees help us in our daily lives and bring us emotional comfort and joy. Yet, just as a small child doesn't fully understand a parent's love and sacrifice, people often fail to appreciate all that trees do for us. We nod along and agree that trees are helpful and deserve our gratitude, but that's often as far as it goes. Just as children take their parents' care for granted, we take the usefulness of trees for granted too. But if this continues, trees will soon disappear from our lives. Like a parent who grows tired and old, trees too will lose their vitality and wither away. If a parent were to suddenly disappear one day, a child would be left frightened and helpless. Our world without trees would be just the same. Just as children help their parents with small tasks, take a moment with your child to think about what you can do for trees — and then go ahead and put it into action together.
