"A simple story of a tree which transforms into a glorious celebration of life, growth, and community." â School Library Journal (starred review)
"Dani forms a bond with the sole tree that is planted in their urban neighborhood; this is a good introduction to the concept of greening city streets for the youngest children. Tranquil and calming, this is an ideal bedtime read." â Kirkus Reviews
"Bustling city scenes center the tree not as backdrop but as full-fledged neighbor, reinforcing the textâs encouragement of stewardship." â Publishers Weekly
"Detailed digital illustrations reflect subtle changes over time: everything becomes brighter, more colorful, and more joyous. The story winds down over the course of four double-page spreads depicting a year of poignant seasonal shifts on the street. Back matter includes information about street trees and their care along with additional resources."  â Horn Book Magazine
