About This Lesson
What does it mean to be like a tree? For one young child, it all begins as a tiny seed that is free to grow and reach out to others while standing strong and tall—just like a tree in the natural world. With this gentle and imaginative story about becoming your fullest self, Maya Christina Gonzalez empowers young readers to dream and reach . . . and to be as free and unique as trees. The educator's guide from Lee & Low Books includes a book summary, background, discussion questions, vocabulary, writing prompts, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
