Loving Trees in a Child’s World

According to a reporter from the Iran Book News Agency (IBNA), curiosity is a prominent characteristic of children. Children often ask strange and unusual questions to their parents, and many families do not know how to answer them. The ability to answer children’s imaginative and illustrative questions requires learned knowledge, and these very questions can change children’s view of the world.

In fact, if we teach children how to ask questions, they might be able to find amazing answers from within their own questions.

In the book “A Few Questions About Trees,” we encounter this lovable world. In this book, several questions about the world of trees are raised, all of which are childlike questions and may not have definitive scientific answers.

For example, in this book we read:

“Are trees afraid of the dark? Or is the moon beside them?”

Questions are also asked about the world in which trees live, including whether trees have feelings or not. From the heart of these very questions, the book tries to lead the child to an inner answer: how we can love nature more and cherish it.

The last question of the book is also raised in line with this goal of friendship with nature:

“When I plant a tree, does that mean we are a family?”

The book “A Few Questions About Trees” was written and illustrated by Tony Yuli and translated by Haniyeh Shams. “Cheh Book Publications,” a publisher of children’s and young adult books from the Cheshmeh Cultural Family, has also made it available to enthusiasts for 220,000 Tomans.
