Overview
The growth of a tree and of a child parallel each other in this exquisitely constructed die-cut picture book about our nestedness in the natural world
I am a seed.
I grow bigger and bigger each day.
I’m starting to become who I am.
So begins this story, which is also how a child’s life begins… and so too does a tree’s. With an affirming, poetic text and gorgeous, delicate art as revealed through die-cuts on almost every spread, I’m Like a Tree and a Tree’s Like Me is a beautiful picture book about how we begin, how we grow, how we’re nourished, and how we live. By drawing parallels between a growing child and a growing tree, author Sylvaine Jaoui and illustrator Anne Crahay remind us of the myriad ways that humans and plants are connected as living beings.
