Description: This seems to be a story of those horrible, no good, bad days that everyone has and how to keep going. The text and picture combo seems a bit advanced and may be better for more experienced readers who could make guesses about what the red tree at the end symbolizes.
Programming: Because this book lacks a traditional narrative, I wasn’t quite sure what to say about it other than the fact that it could spark some discussions about hope, inspiration, and perseverance. This resource pack has some excellent ideas for students of all ages: http://d1mliecp54ib0h.cloudfront.net/Documents/learning/4732_13228_TheRedTree-TeacherResourcePack.pdf
