Hannah and the Talking Tree

Hannah's ears are exceptionally big.  So big that she could hear the grass growing, the birds chirping far away and the ants marching.  Hannah could also hear everyone making fun of her.  Hannah's feelings are hurt and see runs away where she meets a solitary tree.  Hannah listens as the tree tells his lonely tale.

Can Hannah help the tree?  Will she stop the terrible plight that's in store before it's too late?  Find out in, Hannah and the Talking Tree by Elke Weiss.

This book is a delightful story with a powerful message.  It not only shows how being different is a good thing, but it showcases our ability to save the planet and care for the environment.

Bond in hard-cover format, the unique, big, bold illustrations will draw your child into the story and hold them captive until the very end.
