Tess loved her tree. She did everything outside under her tree. One day a storm came making the tree's branches bend and shake. After the storm, Tess's mother did not think it was safe to keep the tree up. Tess's tree was taken down and she was very upset. She decided to have a funeral for her tree and invited her neighbors. At the funeral, the neighbors stood up and talked about their memories of the tree. It made Tess happy to see that her neighbors had great memories of her tree as well. I like that the illustrators do not take up the whole page. I also like how the illustrator changes the colors of the illustrations to match the mood conveyed by the text. ( )

Tess really loves the tree in her yard. She draws it, catches leaves, and, most of all, loves to swing on it. A storm suddenly brews and knocks the branches of her tree down. Worried for the safety of others, Tess's mother has the tree cut down. Tess is devastated, angry, and can't stop crying. She plans a funeral for her tree and all of her neighbors attend. The old lady next door tells of how she used to play on the tree and a young couple who carved their names in the bark show up to pay their respects. Tess manages to stop crying and is happy.

Tess's development is very clear. She is angry and resentful after her tree is chopped down. At the funeral, she learns how the tree made others happy and manages to get passed the pain to remember her tree fondly. This topic of moving on is a good lesson, because holding onto anger isn't healthy.

I really liked this book! I was sad that they didn't plant another tree at the end, but she did put sticks in the ground around the stump. I had a tree in my yard as well and it, too, got knocked down by a storm. I remember how I used to climb it on summer days and just be at peace. I miss that tree, but this book reminded me of the good times I had with it. ( )

I really liked this book, mainly because I love nature and I share the same name as the main character in the story. This story is about a little girl named Tess who loves a tree that she has always had in her backyard. She "loved to swing from her tree, play in its leaves, and camp out under it." I loved how the author describes the relationship between Tess and her tree, almost as if it was her best friend. The story also mentioned that although Tess was only 9 years old, her tree was almost 175 years old. One day, there is a storm and the tree begins to lose branches, and some of the ones still connected to the tree become dangerously close to falling. Tess' mother decides it would be best to have the tree cut down. This makes Tess very sad, "She threw her toys, she screamed at the neighbors and kicked other trees." I thought this was funny because there are illustrations of her running around throwing a tantrum kicking trees. Once Tess is no longer angry that her tree is gone, she decides to have a funeral for it. Tons of people show up in Tess' backyard for the "Celebration of the Life of Tess' Tree." Strangers take turns standing up and sharing stories about the tree that they have had in their lifetimes and remember from their own childhoods. The main idea of this story was friendship, grief, and celebration. ( )
