Thank You Trees, written by author Caroline Kurtz, is a heartfelt appreciation of trees and their importance in Ethiopian culture. From mango and coffee trees to trees grown for wood or shade, trees are a vital part of the Ethiopian environment. While deforestation and climate change pose significant threats to the health and survival of African trees, countries like Ethiopia organize mass tree-planting programs. This beautiful tribute to trees is colorfully illustrated by young students and printed in English and Amharic to support bilingual readers. Vibrant paper collage and rich watercolors show indigenous Ethiopian trees and plants while simple, bilingual text describes the diverse roles that trees play in everyday Ethiopian life. Part of the dual-language Ready Set Go series of books from Open Hearts, Big Dreams to provide colorful, culturally relevant children's books in indigenous Ethiopian languages.
