Ella saw the tree by Robert Vescio
Big Sky Publishing, 2017. ISBN 9781925520378
Picture book. Highly recommended. When you can't see the trees right
in front of you what else are you missing?
This is a well illustrated book, the pictures help you to believe
that Ella is doing all of the things she is imagining. Until one day
Ella notices the tree in her back yard, it has always been there but
she has not noticed it before. Ella is worried about the tree, and
mum helps her to stop and look at what is happening now, to see what
is right in front of her.
This is a lovely story about living in the moment and appreciating
what we have right in front of us.
