"A touching story about sharing, building community, and a tall beautiful tree that opens its large, welcoming branches to all. For a long time, Bird has been looking for the perfect tree. And finally, there it is! Big and beautiful, with large branches to build her nest on. And with fragrant blossoms welcoming her. But as other animals want to live there too, she soon realizes that trees are not just for birds, and life is better when we have others around us."--
About the author
Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child, she lived in an apartment with her family, pet turtles, and a parakeet. On hot summer nights, she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school, but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids, and for all kids, she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset, New York.
Katrien Benaets obtained her master’s degree in Free and Applied Graphics at PIKOH (Hasselt, Belgium). Since her first encounter with a pencil, she has been passionate about drawing and illustration. Katrien uses visual storytelling to invite children to enter new, fantastical worlds.
