I was completely awestruck by the brilliance of this book, it is a true work of art! 

​

The author's natural ability shines brightly as they skillfully pen beautifully written verses that flow harmoniously and effortlessly throughout the narrative. As a result, reading this book is not only an enjoyable, mesmeric experience but also incredibly soothing, evoking a sense of tranquility akin to being immersed in nature, much like the book's setting. 

​

What distinguishes "Sally Sapling" is its extraordinary premise. The innovative idea of examining significant historical periods from the perspective of a growing tree is remarkable. By weaving together a compelling, enlightening storyline with momentous past events, notable figures, and life lessons, children can expand their knowledge while also understanding the importance of resilience and the transitory nature of hardships. 

​

Without a doubt, I am a strong advocate for every child having "Sally Sapling" in their library. It will undoubtedly plant seeds of curiosity and wonder, nurturing a true admiration for trees, the magical realm of nature, and a desire to delve into the past!
