OUTDOOR PARENT NEWS, October 6, 2021
The newly released expanded edition of The Wish Trees: How Planting Trees Can Help Make the World a Better Place is rooted in the idea that every child can help make the world a better place. This whimsical children's book introduces young readers to the fun of tree planting as they meet kids around the globe planting Wish Trees and making wishes.
A BC children’s environmental advocate has just released an extended edition of The Wish Trees and is donating 100% of book profits (Kindle + paperback) to The ChariTree Foundation and other children's environmental education charities and programs. The book was inspired by her A Tree for Every Child Campaign.
Kids will discover the wonder of trees and enjoy searching for different animals and tree names with each new page. Thoughtful, empowering and beautifully written by journalist and children's environmental education advocate Andrea Koehle Jones, The Wish Trees features illustrations by New York Times best-selling illustrator Alicia Padrón. The Wish Trees: How Planting Trees Can Help Make the World a Better Place will inspire little tree planters and wishers everywhere.
She says the second edition released on Sept 15, 2021 of The Wish Trees includes a bonus: “How to Plant a Wish Tree.”
Planting a tree is a message of hope
Young children will fall in love with trees, learn how trees can help our planet and begin to understand that they are never too little to help the world. This second edition of The Wish Trees includes a bonus: “How to Plant a Wish Tree.”
“Children are concerned about the future of the planet and they want to help. I was inspired to write this by so many children who loved planting trees and were excited to help the world.”
Based in Greater Vancouver, The ChariTree Foundation supports local, national and international children’s school and summer camp environmental education programs. It’s about getting kids outside more. Let’s ~ give them opportunities to learn, grow with nature, and contribute positively to their ever-changing world.
The ChariTree Foundation is also an United Nations climate observer organization and Koehle Jones will be attending The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, in Glasgow this November.
