The book A Tree for Me is a celebration of the diversity of trees found in a temperate climate. A boy, his father, and a dog take a walk through the park and point out noteworthy characteristics of the trees they come across. The details described are typical of what a young child might notice and are usually inadequate to differentiate specific trees. The story ends with the boy choosing a tree from a nursery to plant at their home.

Colorful illustrations lend the book a cheerful feel. A Tree for Me is a good pick for Arbor Day discussions or for a young explorers just starting to notice the world around them. Endpapers include a picture glossary of the trees from the park as well as a bulleted list and resources titled “Why We Love Trees.”
