Book excerpt: A coffee table book filled with photos of trees.Dancing with Trees is a collection of stories that explores how one family has journeyed through life under the watchful eyes of individual trees that often become their soulmates. The author explains how these trees on his farm have served as witnesses and companions to love, laughter, disappointments, and milestones that all people experience. Each of the twenty-eight stories focuses on a specific tree and memories associated with it. For example, "Go Skinny Dipping" recalls how a Sweetbay tree near a swimming hole watched the beautiful moment when young boys did not see race as a barrier to sharing life's adventures and became life-long friends. A Magnolia tree reminds us of the sacrifices a relationship might undergo to strengthen love. Not only is Dancing with Trees an entrancing look at memories that resonate with everyone, it also includes stunning photographs of each tree which further enhance the enjoyment. Readers will have an instant connection between the trees and the lessons they represent. In addition, interspersed quotes from Southern authors about the importance of trees deepen the understanding of how trees are interwoven in the lives of us all.Dancing With Trees shares a fantastic metaphor for life as the trees represent love, memories, and family experiences. This book will leave readers with a deep appreciation for trees as well as for the simple pleasures in life.

Book excerpt: The Dancing Tree's Secret is poem-story about three trees that grow together in the woods. The mother tree, portrayed as a Dancing Tree, has two daughters- a Singing Tree and a How Come? Tree, who dance, sing and seek answers to life throughout the four seasons. This natural setting becomes the stage upon which these three characters choreograph universal themes of life and death within a very poignant and unique context. The gorgeous illustrations are inspired by photos of NYC ballet students costumed as trees, and the book includes a glossary of ballet terms. This unique and spiritual portrayal of death-as-transformation transcends religious or traditional approaches to grief and loss, while opening the door to a very difficult subject with ease and grace. As the three trees grow, the children who play in the woods give them their names and the reader learns more about the tree's personalities; but one day, the trees are cut down to clear the forest. The children who watched the trees grow up are now adults with children of their own. They watch as the trees are made into logs and carried away.As they are transported to the lumberyard, the daughter trees ask their mother about what has just happened to them. Will they stay together? Have they stopped growing? Are they still trees? Can they still feel the wind? The Dancing Tree reveals the secret she has known all of her life: dancing means changing form in time and space. Ultimately, a new home is built in the clearing of the forest where the three trees once lived; inside the home, it is revealed that the trees have been made into wooden objects whose forms retained the specificity of their personalities as trees: The Dancing Tree becomes a cradle, the Singing Tree a wooden flute, and the How Come? Tree a child's toy chest that contains puzzles and games that question and challenge young minds. Praised by noted choreographers, grief counselors, child psychologists and clergy, The Dancing Tree's Secret will find its way into the hearts of children, parents, educators, and tree-lovers everywhere.

Book excerpt: Trisha loves the eight days of Hanukkah, when her mother stays home from work, her Babushka makes delicious potato latkes, and her Grampa carves wonderful animals out of wood as gifts for Trisha and her brother. In the middle of her family's preparation for the festival of lights, Trisha visits her closest neighbors, expecting to find them decorating their house for Christmas. Instead they are all bedridden with scarlet fever. Trisha's family is one of the few who has been spared from the epidemic. It is difficult for them to enjoy their Hanukkah feast when they know that their neighbors won't be able to celebrate their holiday. Then Grampa has an inspiration: they will cut down trees, decorate them, and secretly deliver them to the neighbors, "But what can we decorate them with?" Babushka asks. Although it is a sacrifice, Trisha realizes that Grampa's carved animals are the perfect answer. Soon her living room is filled with trees -- but that is only the first miracle of many during an incredible holiday season. Based on a long cherished childhood memory, this story celebrates the miracle of true friendship.

Book excerpt: Thomas loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is. Taking the challenge to spend a night alone in the forest, Thomas heads into the wilderness. The trees, who have heard his stories, watch him tear off their bark and litter as he goes. And so, while Thomas sleeps, they dance a dance that will leave Thomas with a very different kind of story to tell--if he can find his way home... In this book, Masiana Kelly draws on the beauty of the Northwest Territories and the wisdom of Elders to illustrate the importance of treating the land around us with respect.
