Big Tree Down!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Gordon. When a storm fells Big Tree, a feature of a neighborhood park, it hits a power line. While the power is out, neighbors share food and memories of the tree. These neighbors make community-improving use of its wood and plant Little Tree in its place. Quietly dramatic art fits the animated narration, which, it's eventually revealed, is by a neighborhood kid.
