This book tells the story of a boy who didn't appreciate or respect nature. He trampled flowers, carved his initials into trees and tore their limbs offs. To stop him, a group of fairies trapped the boy inside a large oak tree. Years passed and a new family moves in and the fairies attempt to trap their little girl in the tree too. In the end, the boy saves the little girl from being trapped in the tree as well. This good deed in turn releases him from the spell he's trapped by. This book features both pencil drawings and translucent pages with photographs of nature images like insects and flowers. As a reader, I noticed lessons about kindness and respecting nature. I really enjoyed the beautiful design and details throughout this poetic book. As a teacher, this book would fit well with science lessons about nature, specifically different types of trees and flowers. Students could also take pictures of outdoor scenes and put them together to make a class book.
