The Survivor Tree: Inspired by a True Story - Cheryl Somers Aubin

Descriere The Survivor Tree: Inspired by a True Story - Cheryl Somers Aubin

\n \nThrough evocative prose and watercolor illustrations, The Survivor Tree: Inspired by a True Story takes the reader on a journey of hope and healing that parallels our nation's own journey following the events of September 11, 2001.\n \nA month after the collapse of the Twin Towers, workers on the site discovered a few green leaves showing through the gray concrete and ash. Clearing the debris, they found a badly injured Callery Pear Tree. She was rescued, taken to a nursery outside the city, and put in the care of Richie, a City Parks Worker. No one was sure if she would live. But the following spring, a dove built a nest in her branches and new green buds appeared.\n \nOver the years, the tree, although still bearing scars, grew tall and strong. She is planted in a place of honor on the 9/11 Memorial Plaza and now known as The 9/11 Survivor Tree. This story imaginatively describes the experience, memories, and feelings of the tree throughout her healing and her eventual return home.\n \nAll profits from the sale of this book go to charity.\n
