LINDEN: The Story of A Tree and the community that loves him UPLIFTING MESSAGE ABOUT LOVE AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY Like The Giving Tree, Linden watches over those who care and love for him. UNLIKE the Giving Tree, Linden’s love for his community isn’t expressed through sacrifice. This is ultimately a more positive message for kids. Huge linden tree, Black child is sitting on a branch, diverse people sitting around the tree, a man plays the violin. Some trees grow up wanting to be tall lighthouses or big red barns full of horses. Not Linden. He is grateful just being a tree. Through snowy winters full of caroling to summertime picnics beneath his shady boughs, Linden watches over the people who love and care for him. Colleen Muske’s heartfelt, gorgeously illustrated ode to the simple joys of loving one’s community is full of childlike wonder and comfort in the many ways nature supports and surprises us.
