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" 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 outdoors (mixed in with a healthy amount of Nintendo). A large part of his, perhaps over-active, imagination is owed to books – Where the Wild Things Are, Vinegar Pancakes and Vanishing Cream and "every single Dr. Seuss book" make up just a small sampling of the 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, Morgan, and their four children - Rylee, Olivia, Lylah, and Samuel - 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:

The Tree Watcher is a very special, calming, and mindful book that will encourage children to keep noticing and using their imaginations. It would make a soothing bedtime story, but also prompt discussions about caring for nature and the world around us, and appreciating the beautiful things in life in general. Sincerely recommended. - Reader's Favorite Full Review: readersfavorite.com/book-review/the-tree-watcher
