Description: The Red Tree by Shaun Tan—Kate Greenaway Medalist, Astrid Lindgren winner, and Academy Award recipient—is a poignant picture book affirming that dark feelings pass. A girl wakes to ominous blackened leaves cascading from her ceiling, mirroring her wordless worries: "Sometimes you wake up with nothing to look forward to..." She drifts through a bewildering, alien world drowned in complex emotions. Yet, returning home, a single red seedling blooms into radiant light, filling her room with hope. This fable gently reminds children (and all) that inevitable bad days yield to brighter ones—perfect for soothing anxieties in tough times.
