In this rhyming celebration of trees, a diverse group of kids explore every detail of the trees in their neighborhoods, accompanied by fascinating factual information about the various trees of North America.
The tree huggers climb up into the branches to see from above, bask in the willow's shade on a hot day, know the difference between spruce and fir needles and delight in the deciduous leaves that go crunch. For all the joy the central rhyming text in Tree Huggers brings, there are additional amazing facts about trees throughout to inspire readers to head outside and take a closer look at the trees around them.
