Editorial Review

“In this charming story, people of different ages, gender, and races plant and take care of trees and enjoy their bounty. The lively illustrations portray people enjoying various activities, like climbing trees, having a Tu B’shevat picnic, singing, dancing, recycling, and swinging from trees. The rhyming couplets and rhythms are simple, effective, and age-appropriate. Bright greens, blues, and reds dominate these sturdy pages in collage-type illustrations reminiscent of Eric Carle’s work. Thank You, Trees! is not appropriate for Orthodox children, due to the non-tzniut (modest) clothing. A better choice for this audience might be Dear Tree: A Tu B’shvat Wish (Hachai, 2010).” —AJL Newsletter
