Luna & Me: The True Story of a Girl Who Lived in a Tree to Save a Forest

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9976-8 $18.99
(4) K-3 This picture-book account of activist Julia Butterfly Hill's bid to save an ancient redwood by living in it communicates the importance of environmentalism and activism but undercuts its celebration of Hill's work with an aged-down visual depiction and a narrative that suggests serendipity ("Suddenly, an idea sprouted...") over calculated planning. Whorled, verdant illustrations play with perspective to convey the tree's majesty. Author's note appended.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
