The Comfort Tree
Written By Holly Carr
Deep in the forest stands a very tall tree. In stunning silk paintings, the author-artist shows how a variety of forest animals and birds find comfort around the tree through the seasons. As night falls, the animals can be heard calling good night to each other from the boughs of the tree that gives them comfort.

The Comfort Tree is a beautiful story that invites children of all ages into the magic and healing power of nature. In a world that can often feel overwhelming and chaotic, helping our children learn ways of comforting and calming themselves is vital for building a strong sense of self and in the belief that we can count on and trust in others. The Comfort Tree is a vibrant and engaging read that shows just how important connection is to us all.
