# The Tree in Me - Hardcover

by **Corinna Luyken** (Author)

**A stunning and sensitive portrait of the strength within each of us and the nourishment we receive from the natural world, by the _New York Times_ bestselling creator of the acclaimed _My Heart_ and _The Book of Mistakes_**

Through poetic text and exquisite illustrations of children reveling in nature, this picture book explores the various ways we as human beings are strong, creative, and connected to others. Each of us is like a tree, with roots and fruit, and an enduring link to everything else in nature. _"The tree in me is strong. It bends in the wind, and has roots that go deep . . . to where other roots reach up toward their own trunk-branch-crown and sky."_

As Corinna Luyken did in her award-winning _My Heart_, she again provides an invigorating conversation-starter that contains a world of truths--about self-esteem, community, and living a meaningful life.
