Book : Little Tree's Sideways Dreams



 Summary:


   Little Tree’s Sideways Dreams is written by Jessie Huang, and it is illustrated by Miriam Wang and Riva Chen. The leading character is a little tree that wants to travel the world. A little bird usually tells it that how gorgeous the world is. It always imagines the scenery of the other parts of the world which it can never see as a tree. One day, it comes up with a crazy idea. It is going to grow in a different way. The little tree starts to bend its trunk day by day. Year after year, the little tree finally grows up and it becomes a sideways tree. It can touch the sea, however, seawater makes its leaves withered. The little tree is dying, at that time, a human family save it and they help it.

Reflection:

   The book is attractive. It has lots of beautiful pictures and it is easy to read for children. In the story, the big trees told the little tree that how to grow up. They did not agree with the little tree’s crazy dreams. In my opinion, the big trees are just like adults and parents in human’s world, especially in Asia. They always told their children how to do or what cannot do. However, children have their own life. Just like the little tree in the story, it chose a totally different way to lead its life. There is generation gap between the big trees and the little tree. I think that if parents read the book as bedtime story, they can think deeply about the meaning behind the appearance of the story. In addition, it can also make children to understand that it is important to have a dream, however, finding a correct way to reach the dream is significant, too. At last, I want to say that this is really a good story for both children and adults to read.
