The poem and the illustrations move like a quiet dance.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trees (Hardcover)
Harry Behn's poem, written in simple but delicate rhyme, feels like
a Haiku poem. The poem is compressed into short verse that
moves the tree from season to season. The poem is about the
relationship of the reader to a tree and the tree's relationship to
the world.. Through the kindness of the tree, a bird's nest finds
it's home, colorful leaves drop at Halloween, and fruit is given
to us. The tree lives above us. It is the first to feel the touch of
the sun in the morning and the moon at night. The illustrations ,
by James Endicott move across the page like a quiet dance.
Each pictures shows a detail of the tree as it makes it's
transformation throughout the year in simple lines and curves
that is reminiscent of Japanese drawing. By the end of the book
we have seen, both in words and pictures, day turning into night,
the seasons changing and are reminded that one tree's kindness
has been seen and felt through the eyes of many generations

Another beautifully illustrated book by James Endicott. I am an artist myself but just love this guys work. He's not only clever at drawing and painting but his idea of composition is amazing and inspirational. A beautiful book for adults and children to enjoy and treasure.
