If I Could Climb Trees
Written by Jeff Minich
Illustrated by Renan Garcia
A little dog dreams of all the things she would see and the creatures she might meet–if only she could climb trees. On one blue-sky day, she imagines she’s climbed to the top of a tall tree. Once there, she discovers what life is like for the other creatures in the tree and then comes to find that they also dream their own little dreams. Together they picture a world where bugs have shoes for their little feet; birds have paws to bury treats; and yes, even four-legged Nuggies can climb trees! Moving between day and night, If I Could Climb Trees is a whimsical bedtime story that encourages children to explore their imaginations, dream bigger dreams, and see the world through the eyes of others.

What I would do and see if I could climb trees, is have a platform near the top of the world’s tallest trees, with the view unencumbered by any surrounding trees.

I would sit on a Thonet bent-wood chair, sipping tea with lemon, highly sweetened, and enjoy the view.
