Nell Plants a Tree
Anne Wynter
illustrated by Daniel Miyares 2023
A sweet reflection of family and time passing and the nurturing of each other through nature and a hope for the future. As a group of kids (cousins perhaps?) climb and explore a big pecan tree, we are reminded that it all started when "Nell picks up a seed" and "waters the soil" and "plants a tree". I've always loved books like this, that center on a place and the generations that pass through it. Both the author and illustrator share their own family remembrances at the end.
