Talking with Trees

Getting to the heart of moral values for children

As children play and grow, they’re learning how to be good people. Parents, teachers, and the other kids on the playground all shape the ways children learn to be trustworthy, considerate, confident, and kind. Talking with Trees books and teaching resources are part of that character development for many children. Around the world, the books, worksheets, lesson plans, and other resources are used in homes and schools to teach children important lessons on values like honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring.

Connecting through real experiences

With captivating illustrations, Talking with Trees books help children feel the story so they can connect to their own experiences. Making moral choices isn’t just a mental process. Kids feel whether something is right or wrong, like when we feel a twist in our gut that something’s wrong or when our hearts swell with pride when we do the right thing. Talking with Trees books are written to help children develop that inner moral guide that will steer them toward making good choices. Each story is based on common, realistic scenarios that kids can relate to from their own lives.
