The illustrations in this are so detailed, lovely, colourful and really allow the wording to flow on every page. I personally loved the sun it reminded me of how I used to draw the sunshine.
I loved how this really teaches children there’s more to life than technology. It was cute how the boy reflects and even though it feels quite sad it shows you so much more importance in life. For some reason the tree reminded me of the tree in Pocahontas just a lot more fun. The different adventures were exciting from being in space to a pirate in the sea. For me it personally teaches children the importance of bringing imagination to life and being creative.
The only thing I found was I wanted a bit more and the ending came to a very almost rushed conclusion. I think I was just having so much fun and fully losing myself into all of the animals and the different types of colours on the leaves on top of the trees. This was a lovely, cute, enjoyable, fast flowing and overall incredible children’s book.

I love the sweet story with the whimsical illustrations in The Boy and the Tree. All children can relate to climbing up a hill on a lovely day and feeling bored. The little boy fails to notice all the little woodland creatures surrounding him. As he feels sad, the big tree speaks to him and tells him of all the adventures they could take in the tree.
Next come page after beautiful page of illustrations of all the imaginary trips they make with his new friends, the little animals. By the end of the day the little boy is tired and takes a nap with his new friends.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This was a wonderful children’s book about a little boy and nature, he used his imagination instead of playing on technology.
The message is well spoken, there is always lots to do outside. You don’t need technology to have fun.
My three children ages 7, 6 & 3 absolutely loved this book. They thoroughly enjoyed the rhyming words, this technique definitely keeps them interested.
My seven year old can easily read it by herself, my five year old sometimes needed a helping hand. The book can be read to from ages two/three and up.
The illustrations in this were really cute and definitely stood out to my children.
This beauty will definitely stay on their bookshelf.

This is an adorable little picture book that is engaging and really readable thanks to its lovely rhyming narrative. The pictures are really colourful and eye catching and really add something to the story. A great story that teaches children the importance of being outside and not only appreciating nature but learning and thinking about what nature can do for you. What may look like a simple old tree can take you on adventures galore from sailing the seven seas to going to outer space - these branched wonders can be anything you want them to be and take you anywhere you imagination carries you

The Boy and the Tree was a joy to read, and is a must for any Year 1 or 2 classroom. Telling the story of a boy who is feeling left out by his friends and a lack of electronic gadgets, he doesn’t know how he fits in or what he can do. But the boy finds all he needs and more from an incredible talking tree! The tree tells the boy how much joy can be found in nature, and the wonder of trees with a little bit of imagination.
The illustrations are beautiful and delicate, showcasing so many gorgeous aspects of nature and the joys of being outdoors.
The book has certainly inspired me to go for more country walks with my children and to look up more!

🌳🧒🏻 The Boy in the Tree 🧒🏻🌳
A lovely illustrated children's book about a boy who is lonely and bored. He goes outside looking for something fun to do. He finds a friend in a tree and lots of adventures along the way. He learns that there's a lot more going on outside to enjoy and explore than sitting inside using fancy gadgets. This book encourages children to spend more time outdoors, away from screens and shows how much more fun it can be. I really liked the rhyming style. It was a joy to read. I work with young children in a school setting and we have been doing forest school lessons which are all about encouraging play outdoors. The children enjoy it and learn so much regardless of ability and language barriers. So definitely recommend this book to all children.
