This Very Tree
Author: Sean Rubin
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company (BYR)
ISBN: 1250838584
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 27
Book Description
A deeply moving story about community and resilience, from the point-of-view of the Callery pear tree that survived the attacks on September 11, from Eisner Award-nominated author-illustrator Sean Rubin. * "A resonant, beautifully rendered testament to life and renewal." —Kirkus, starred review In the 1970s, nestled between the newly completed Twin Towers in New York City, a Callery pear tree was planted. Over the years, the tree provided shade for people looking for a place to rest and a home for birds, along with the first blooms of spring. On September 11, 2001, everything changed. The tree’s home was destroyed, and it was buried under the rubble. But a month after tragedy struck, a shocking discovery was made at Ground Zero: the tree had survived. Dubbed the “Survivor Tree,” it was moved to the Bronx to recover. And in the thoughtful care of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the Callery pear was nursed back to health. Almost a decade later, the Survivor Tree returned home and was planted in the 9/11 Memorial to provide beauty and comfort...and also hope. This is the story of that tree—and of a nation in recovery. Told from the tree’s perspective, This Very Tree is a touching tribute to first responders, the resilience of America, and the restorative power of community.

Sam and Me and the Hard Pear Tree
Author: Jami Yeats-Kastner
Publisher: Jacana Media
ISBN: 1431420727
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Sam and Me & the Hard Pear Tree is both a personal account of a mother’s ultimate loss and a universal message of growth and hope. It is centred on the loss of Jami’s young son, Sam, and the journey that she finds herself on, one from grief to grace (O magazine, March 2014) that requires her to draw on all of her strength to move forward, confronting truths about herself and her life along the way. Written as a journal over the year that followed Sam’s death, Jami’s blog gathered over 24 000 hits. Jami now shares her journey, through this book, with searing honesty and a wry sense of humour and, as she finds her way, it becomes less about grief and more about self-discovery, about synchronicity and about following the signs that are everywhere. This story is at times harrowing and heartbreaking but it is also inspiring and uplifting.
