Synopsis The Dancing Trees by : Masiana Kelly

Thomas loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is. Taking the challenge to spend a night alone in the forest, Thomas heads into the wilderness. The trees, who have heard his stories, watch him tear off their bark and litter as he goes. And so, while Thomas sleeps, they dance a dance that will leave Thomas with a very different kind of story to tell--if he can find his way home... In this book, Masiana Kelly draws on the beauty of the Northwest Territories and the wisdom of Elders to illustrate the importance of treating the land around us with respect.

Synopsis The Trees of the Dancing Goats by : Patricia Polacco

Trisha loves the eight days of Hanukkah, when her mother stays home from work, her Babushka makes delicious potato latkes, and her Grampa carves wonderful animals out of wood as gifts for Trisha and her brother. In the middle of her family's preparation for the festival of lights, Trisha visits her closest neighbors, expecting to find them decorating their house for Christmas. Instead they are all bedridden with scarlet fever. Trisha's family is one of the few who has been spared from the epidemic. It is difficult for them to enjoy their Hanukkah feast when they know that their neighbors won't be able to celebrate their holiday. Then Grampa has an inspiration: they will cut down trees, decorate them, and secretly deliver them to the neighbors, "But what can we decorate them with?" Babushka asks. Although it is a sacrifice, Trisha realizes that Grampa's carved animals are the perfect answer. Soon her living room is filled with trees -- but that is only the first miracle of many during an incredible holiday season. Based on a long cherished childhood memory, this story celebrates the miracle of true friendship.

Synopsis Dancing with Trees by : Benny Graves

A coffee table book filled with photos of trees.Dancing with Trees is a collection of stories that explores how one family has journeyed through life under the watchful eyes of individual trees that often become their soulmates. The author explains how these trees on his farm have served as witnesses and companions to love, laughter, disappointments, and milestones that all people experience. Each of the twenty-eight stories focuses on a specific tree and memories associated with it. For example, "Go Skinny Dipping" recalls how a Sweetbay tree near a swimming hole watched the beautiful moment when young boys did not see race as a barrier to sharing life's adventures and became life-long friends. A Magnolia tree reminds us of the sacrifices a relationship might undergo to strengthen love. Not only is Dancing with Trees an entrancing look at memories that resonate with everyone, it also includes stunning photographs of each tree which further enhance the enjoyment. Readers will have an instant connection between the trees and the lessons they represent. In addition, interspersed quotes from Southern authors about the importance of trees deepen the understanding of how trees are interwoven in the lives of us all.Dancing With Trees shares a fantastic metaphor for life as the trees represent love, memories, and family experiences. This book will leave readers with a deep appreciation for trees as well as for the simple pleasures in life.
