Pyebwa yo ak Mwen/Trees and Me Written by Jannie Mann & illustrated by Simona M. Ceccarelli Beginning and ending in the fall season, this book takes the reader through winter, spring, and summer while observing trees. Throughout this story, trees transform, with their leaves changing into bright colors that eventually fall off, leaving bare branches to be covered by snow, and then blooming again bright and lush, just for fall to come back around. This beautifully illustrated book is a reminder to readers that the world is always changing—just like they are.
