HELLO, TREES

AWARD WINNER!
In this lyrical, poetic story about trees (and more), a little girl wanders through a forest and asks questions of the trees. She runs her hands along their trunks: the lines in the bark are so different from her own skin, yet somewhat familiar. What must it feel like, when they lose their leaves? Like trees, we are a culmination of our memories, and of our future.
