Journey through the seasons and discover how much there is to love about trees! From brand-new buds in spring to the sound of the wind whooshing through the leaves in summer, from the fall colors to the feel of winter’s rough bark and the promise of spring returning again — no matter what time of year, there’s always something extraordinary to notice about the trees around your neighborhood. Chris Butterworth’s text, gently sprinkled with facts, captures the wonder of a child as Charlotte Voake’s busy, buoyant artwork conveys how something as simple and common as a tree can feel like magic taking root around you.

作为一部低年龄段科普图画书，本书从一个孩子的视角讲述了树木在不同季节的变化，以及“我”喜欢树的原因。“春天来了！我喜欢春天树的变化。树枝上，像小珠子一样的嫩芽，越来越大……”从春天的发芽、开花，到夏天的生长，秋天树叶的颜色变换，直到冬天可以直视树顶，作者在诗意简洁的叙述之外，还结合了相关科学知识的介绍，包括蜜蜂采蜜授粉、光合作用、果实的生长、动物筑巢等等。

作家克丽丝·巴特沃思以孩子般的好奇心，带读者跨越四季，写就了一首树的赞歌。插画家夏洛特·沃克的水彩画，则赋予了书中树木和人物以饱满的生命力。
