About the authors
The first books I remember loving are "Harold and the Purple Crayon" by Crockett Johnson and "Animal Fair" by Alice and Martin Provensen. I also loved "Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson and "What Do You Say, Dear?" by Sesyle Joslin and Maurice Sendak. Later on I loved "Homer Price and the Donut Machine", "Alice in Wonderland", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", and one about bread dough that keeps rising and rising, I wish I could remember the name of it.
I've lived in big towns and small towns, in mountains and valleys, beside the ocean and across the ocean, and now I live in Taos, New Mexico in a house with big windows that look out on mountains and sagebrush. My husband, our dog, Harry, and I take a lot of long walks in the desert.We spend the Summer in a tiny cabin on a tiny island in a big lake in northern Minnesota. We've named the island Good Dog Island in honor of all the good dogs we've known.

I do have to agree to some extent with the commentators who expressed concerns about how the book promotes growing non-native species. That is a fair critique, but definitely a more advanced/nuanced conversation that the target age group (toddler) won’t grasp. I think it is still fine to inspire a love of nature and teach a little local history, and deal with the ecology and sustainability lessons when they get older.
Katherine Olivia Sessions lived in the woods in Northern California. Girls from Kate's side of town didn't get their hands dirty, but Kate did. She was the only girl in science. Kate felt that trees were her friends. She also was the only girl to get her science degree. She left her hometown because she got a job in San Diego. She became a teacher for 2 years. Then she became a gardener. Kate started planting trees in the park. Will she plant enough trees?
My favorite part of the book is how on Kate's side of town girls weren't supposed to get their hands dirty, but Kate did. The author wrote this to tell us that we can do anything.
I recommend this book to others because it seems that if Kate can do it we can do it too. I like this book because it shows me that I can do anything.
"The Tree Lady" is a good fit book for people who like plants.

I love how it is a book about possibilities and about following your dreams even if those dreams are different than society's expectations of you. I love the illustrations, with historical details set just right.
The book took several years to come to fruition. It started as a student exercise in a writing seminar. And now, it's a fun and encouraging book about a woman who made her world a better place.
My dad encouraged me to enjoy reading (thanks, dad!) and I encourage you to enjoy reading this book.
But when I read it, I get a special experience. I hear my daddy reading it to me, in his special book voice. I wish I could share that with you all, because it makes me feel so good, so warm and secure, enchanted with the story as it unfolds. If your family gets some portion of that wonder, then, I think, my dad's hopes will have been fulfilled.
I love you, Dad!
Girl power. Education. Nature lover. Innovative mind.
