A young squirrel disagrees with his parents who want to exclude such newcomers as the blue jays, chipmunks, and beavers from the squirrels' woodland neighborhood. - Baker & Taylor
Inhabiting a knot in the middle of a large oak tree, the Gray squirrel family becomes increasingly frustrated and reclusive as the oak tree welcomes chipmunks, beavers and birds, before an act of heroism imparts lessons in diversity and acceptance. 35,000 first printing. Illustrations. - McMillan Palgrave
The Belonging Tree is a thoughtful picture book about respect, inclusion, and acceptance in a woodland community of animals from writer Maryann Cocca-Leffler and illustrator Kristine A. Lombardi.
Life was ordinary in the big oak tree on Forest Lane. Squirrels lived in every part of the tree, and the Gray squirrel family inhabited the knot in the middle. But the neighborhood starts to change as the big oak tree welcomes families of chipmunks, beavers, and birds. And with each new arrival, the Grays become increasingly unhappy. Canât everything remain just as it was?
It will take an unexpected moment of heroism from a thoughtful inhabitant to finally open hearts and bind together this diverse animal community.
