"Nell Plants a Tree," beautifully illustrated by Daniel Miyares, tells the story of Nell, a young girl who embarks on a journey to plant a tree with her father. Set against the backdrop of a bustling city, the book captures the magic of nature and the importance of environmental stewardship. Through Nell's adventure, readers are encouraged to appreciate the beauty of trees and the impact of small actions in preserving our planet. ( ) Before a pack of kids can race to a tree, climb it, sit in its shade, or gather pecans from it...Nell plants a seed. Gorgeous illustrations in warm, muted colors show the back ("before...") and forth: Nell finding the seed, taking care of it, planting the sapling, and watching it grow, all as she grows too: into a young mother, then a grandmother, always in a yellow dress with different patterns. Author's note, illustrator's note. Beautiful endpapers show a patchwork quilt with a seed on the front and a tree on the back.
