Review of The Strong Tree (paperback)
Posted: 14 Jun 2021, 14:37
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Strong Tree (paperback)" by Liz Cavanaugh.]
Many times in life, people assume that only adults can be stressed or upset about things that happen around them. With the ease of availability to technology and lots of schoolwork to complete each week, children have stress and worry that their parents did not have to go through. The Strong Tree, written by Liz Cavanaugh, is a children’s book designed to give kids hope, encouragement, and life advice using the analogy of a tree. Kids will learn how to make their tree strong and keep it that way for the long run.
The watercolor pictures were beautiful. I loved seeing at least one after each page; this will easily entice this book’s intended audience to keep reading. I cannot tell if they are painted by hand or created digitally, but this did not affect my enjoyment of the pictures. The pictures were bright and cheery, which works well with the message the author gives to her readers.
Another enjoyable aspect is the level of interaction that the author provides. She highly encourages readers to use their imagination to create their own tree. This level of interaction was great because when I was reading the advice and tips, I was able to think about how to use them in a way that fit me. Even adults can use the advice in this book to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
I found nothing to dislike about this title at all. Everything the author discussed is written and explained well. If there is one thing that I had to mention, it would be the font choice. I did have a hard time reading some of the words, as they appeared to collide with each other. However, I believe that this is just a personal preference. If a reader has difficulty reading some font styles, they may want to research or sample this book to see if they can read it.
Based on the items discussed, I see no reason to rate The Strong Tree anything less than a perfect four out of four stars. It is flawlessly edited, as I didn’t encounter a single grammatical error in any part of the book. I recommend this book to children aged four to nine, with an adult helping the younger side of the audience with reading. Everyone can use positivity in their lives, and this book does an excellent job of providing some.
