Synopsis

This story draws inspiration from the author taking his son, Samuel, on a walk to the park.  He noticed how amazed Samuel was at everything there was to see - especially the trees that towered above him.  With artwork depicting these trees that forged such awe in young Samuel's eyes, "The Tree Watcher"  beautifully takes the reader along on this wonder-inducing walk.

About this title

About the Author:

Christopher P. Stanley grew up in Grove City, OH and had a childhood that centered around imagination, play, and exploring the the outdoors (mixed in with a healthy amount of Nintendo). A large part of his, perhaps over-active, imagination is owed to children's books that filled him with wonder - and continue to do so to this very day! Christopher graduated from Ohio Dominican University with a degree in Education, and has been an educator for the past 10 years in both the K-12 and Higher Education settings. He currently lives in Upper Arlington, OH with his wife and their four children, who remind him every day of the magic that is childhood. Christopher is an author and co-founder of Jump Splash Books, and he aims to highlight imagination and celebrate the joy of childhood through his stories. He co-founded Jump Splash with his childhood friend and artist Alex LeVasseur, and the name of the company encapsulates their vision - through imagination and wonder, we can find joy; even in something as simple as jumping in a puddle.

Review:
