"A beloved tree brings the town together even after it is toppled
in a storm. . . . Gordon's richly colored illustrations portray the
togetherness that is sometimes still found in small towns or urban
neighborhoods. Community togetherness at its best in this
celebration of a tree."—Kirkus Reviews
"A strength of this title is the rich vocabulary that includes the
names of vehicles like a cherry picker and professionals like
lineman. . . . Interest will be high for this title. VERDICT An
excellent selection for public or school libraries. It can be a
go-to title to read after a thunderstorm."—School Library Journal
