Big Tree 🌳 is a game changer! I’d never read a story following 2 tree seeds as they embarked on an epic quest to find a safe place to plant their roots. A bit Wishtree & Alice in Wonderland, this is a classic! Thanks to @RabbitHoleKC for hosting Brian Selznick! #books #kidlit https://t.co/cqbKLJ2UBX
