Be a Tree

Be a Tree is the delightfully illustrated story of a young girl who notices the wonderful attributes of trees and wants to grow up to have those attributes.A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be divided equally between the Arbor Day Foundation and the YanaCocha Rescue Centre in Ecuador. The Arbor Day Foundation is the largest nonprofit membership organization dedicated to planting trees. The YanaCocha Rescue Centre rescues and rehabilitates wildlife species and reintroduces them into the Tamandua Ecologic Reserve. The destruction and fragmentation of habitat in the Ecuadorian Amazon is considered the greatest threat to biodiversity conservation and the primary cause for the extinction of wild species in the region. YanaCocha is working to combat this threat by preserving the Amazonian rainforest and populating it with native birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles to create a healthy and thriving ecosystem.
