The Day My Brother Became a Tree

A stunningly illustrated picture book about moving to a new home that celebrates compassion, imagination, nature, and sibling love, by the acclaimed creator of I Lived Inside a Whale. Owen loves his garden, especially his trees. He loves taking care of them- naming them, watering them, and even singing songs to them. So, when his parents tell him the family is moving, he is devastated. He just can't imagine leaving all his friends and his beloved garden behind. And if he becomes a tree, no one can make him move away. Luckily, some creative thinking by his big sister, Wendy, and a loving circle of friends come to the rescue in this uniquely imaginative and beautifully illustrated tale about change and the comfort nature can provide for us.
