Happy Arbor Day! In addition to celebrating our planet Earth earlier this week, today is the day to give a special shoutout to the wonder of those incredible ecosystems, those beautiful bounties, and those producers of oxygen: trees!

In addition to planting a tree or nurturing a sapling, Arbor Day is also a great day for diving into books that celebrate trees through education, poetry, folklore, and fiction!
