More Trees, Please!

Author Alastair Heim On Tour
Illustrated by Amanda Morrow
Trees are beautiful, useful, and important! Join a little girl in this Step 1 Comic Reader as she shares the many wonderful things about trees and how we need more, please! Comic Readers are told almost entirely in action-packed dialogue! Simple, graphic, paneled layouts introduce emergent readers to the joy of comics.

Trees! Trees! And more trees! They are big and beautiful and all around us! A little park ranger girl wants to explore them all—trees both tall and small; trees that give us fruit or shade or a place to climb or sit beneath. Trees do so much for us and the planet. Do you want to care for them just like they care for us and make the Earth a better place? Then say it with her: "More trees, please!"

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words to decode. They are for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading aided by rhymes and rhythmic text paired with picture clues.
ALASTAIR HEIM is the author of thirteen children’s picture books including Hello Door, which was named one of The New York Public Library’s Best Books of 2018, The Great Puppy Invasion, which won the 2019 Oklahoma Redbud Read-Aloud Award, and Quiet Down Loud Town!, which was named a 2021 Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. He has also written three books for Dr. Seuss Beginner Books titled If I Had Your Vote, If I Ran Your School, and If I Were Saint Nick—all featuring The Cat in the Hat—as well as the board book I Am the Cat in the Hat. He lives in Kansas City with his wife and three incredible children.
