Rhythm

Written by Jackie Azúa Kramer and Illustrated by Taia Morley

In a town once vibrant but now affected by unemployment and food insecurity, one girl watches the seasons go by. Winter’s rhythm brings hearty soups. Spring’s rhythm brings soft breezes and pale yellow afternoons. Through it all one tree is her steady, generous friend. From acorns and dried leaves, to crocuses, to views of the sky and stars, the tree brings her gifts each season. This soothing and inspiring read uses the rhythms of nature as a metaphor for strength, change, and hope.
