The Gift of the Tree

Alvin Tresselt

Harper Collins, Mar 24, 1992 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages

Tresselt's classic story of The Dead Tree is given new life in this gloriously reillustrated volume. The role of an oak tree in the cycle of nature is revealed as an ancient tree, even as it dies and returns to the earth, provides nourishment for new life all around it. "Impressionistic illustrations beautifully reflect an evocative text." -- Kirkus Reviews.
