Q: What inspired this new Tree Spirits book?
A: In the first Tree Spirits interactive picture book, I took readers on a walk through my neighborhood (all but one of the 10 trees in the book are within a mile of where I live in Pasadena, California) and I ask them “What do you see when you look up at this tree?”
I am asking children to have fun, be creative, and open their own imaginations to discover the magic hidden in the trees where they live.
