Susan Andra Lion, author and illustrator of How the Trees Got Their Voices, is helping young readers become aware of the deep connection between all living things in the connected world of a forest ecosystem. Through her visually compelling and highly imaginative story of how Mother Earth gave the trees their voices, children learn that all the Earth's inhabitants live in relation to each other, and the value of respect for all forms of life. This unique book helps its readers regard their world as a complex tapestry of life and living things. And it arrives just in time for the holiday season, a perfect gift or stocking-stuffer to the child in your life. How the Trees Got Their Voices helps children grow a deep appreciation for the world's ecology. "This medium of a two-level story about the forest, the Earth and the environment creates a unique, shared experience between children and the people who read to them because they are sharing the visual experience of this wonderful story and forest world together. But it is also one of the loveliest books that readers will ever hold in their hands." noted Karen Stuth, owner of Satiama, LLC, a Palmer Lake, Colorado-based publishing company that has brought the book forward.
