Fleischman, Paul. The Birthday Tree. Candlewick Press: 2008. ISBN: 9780763626044.
The Birthday Tree is a story about a sailor and his family. They lost three sons to the sea, so they decided to live on the land far away from the sea. They have another baby, a boy. They plant an apple tree when he was born. They did not want their child to be fond of the sea, but one day he ran away to see the sea. The sketches in the book are nice, cool and fun to look at. The pictures are sad sometimes and nice other times. I think this book is sweet, sad, happy and has great pictures. My favorite part is when they had the baby and planted a tree. This is a great book for second to fourth grade.
