The Book




This sweet book stars an adorable little girl who is a walking, talking, family tree!  How quaint!  Who knew? 


"I've got my brother's ears

And my sister's big bright eyes.

I've got my grandpa's hands

Though mine are a smaller size."


She discovers that she is an impressive mosaic composed of different  physical parts similar to other family members. These familial contributions verify her belonging in the family and make her very unique as well.  

"Me and the Family Tree" is a celebration of her family heritage which is wrapped up in the special love bestowed upon her from many of the members.  

The large vibrant illustrations, by award-winning children's book illustrator and graphic designer Ashleigh Corrin, are fantastic and very kid-friendly.  It is a perfect bedtime story... or anytime story.  I love the book and highly recommend it.
