Happy Birthday, Trees!

by Karen Rostoker-Gruber (Author), Holly Sterling (Illustrator)

 

It’s Tu B’Shevat―Jewish Arbor Day―and a diverse group of children work together to plant a tree. After digging a hole, placing the tree, filling the hole with dirt, patting the ground, and spraying the garden hose, the children celebrate by wishing the tree a happy birthday, and then look forward to when it blossoms on Tu B’Shevat the following year. Ages 4-5 years
