The Trees Have Hearts


This book tells the story of how a little girl moved to a different country and could not speak their language. All the children picked on her, so she did not have anyone to play with.  The trees are able to speak the girl’s language and try to comfort her by telling her that she will have new friends in no time. The little girl talked to the trees every morning before school and when she got home from school.
When the little girl leaves for summer vacation, she does not tell the trees good bye and leaves them all to worry about her.  She should have told them, they would have understood. The wind found her at the camp and told the trees where she is. They were so worried about her.
This book is well written, very sweet, and very heart warming. The illustrations are beautiful! I will warn you, the end may make you cry. You must read the rest of the story to find out if the girl ever made any new friends. I have already given away too much of the story already. I recommend this book to everyone, especially children that have to move to a new school.
