A Tree a Day

ATreeADay by @amyjanebeer is a fantastic book of trees with stunning photos as well as famous painting and quotes, along with interesting stories and natural facts. It features 365 Trees - one tree to ponder for each day of the year, and Im quite obsessed with it. Ill definitely be buying this hardcover to read more and ponder more on my lovelies - the trees. If you are tree-obsessed like me, or you want a stunning coffee table book, this book is for you. This book will be out in April of this year. Many thanks to @chroniclebooks for making it available on @netgalley for review. Ill definitely be buying a copy!! #5starread

What an absolutely fantastic book!! I've always been a fan of trees, but am constantly frustrated that I don't know enough about them, especiallytheir names. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the ARC. The photography in this book was sensational, but what I loved best about it was the fact that I got a little history, a little poetry and a little geography throughout the book. So well-written, each page was very engaging.. Congrats to Amy-Jane Beer on this gorgeous book. I am definitely planning to buy this for a friend who is an avid gardener.

Not surprisingly, this is quite good. With a wide variety of photos and images from around the world (and time), this is reminder of the diversity that surrounds us. I was slightly disappointed in the quality of the photos (I was expecting world-class photos throughout), but the images were nonetheless high-quality overall, interesting and well-selected. Well done overall.

I really appreciate the free ARC for review!!

Nature is a natural balm to the soul. I have read about Tree Bathing in Japan, and believe it's a concept and practice that should take place around the globe.

Even if you live in a city and can't get to nature, this book will provide a daily Zen moment for you to be one with the trees. The photos and daily entries can provide a connection to nature.

I was provided with a copy of this book by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion. All opinions are mine.

Pros: Although this book features a tree for each day of the year and can be read day by day, I enjoyed it so much that I read it in one sitting. I love how many topics this book includes--nature, geography, history, art. When I first started reading, I though the book would just feature beautiful photographs of the trees, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the many forms of art used to feature the trees, including stained glass, botanical prints, paintings, stamps, art installations, sculptures, political cartoons, poetry, children's books, china patterns, and lines of Shakespeare. I also appreciated how many of the trees were featured on dates related to the tree in some way. I think this book would make the perfect gift for lovers of nature and art.

Cons: None that I can think of. This book was so much more than I assumed with I first started reading!

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read this book!

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute book!

The book is broken down as a book a day - literally a book for each day of the year. The book includes fictional and real trees. There's pictures, information about the tree, and some history or significance of the tree. The book spans the glove and fictional worlds. This is a fun way to learn about different famous or significant trees and how they've impacted us as humans.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. If you want to see 365 different kinds of trees than you might like this book.

4.5 stars rounded up

I love trees a lot. Like a weird amount. So this book was right up my alley. The writing was clear and interesting and informative. The pictures were beautiful. It’s definitely a book meant to be held in your hands (ironically enough), not squinted at on a phone screen.

A really wide variety of trees featured! Massive trees, old trees, rare trees, edible trees, popular trees, historically significant trees, fictional trees, paintings of trees, poems about trees. Trees from all over the world, but definitely England-centric

It did get a touch repetitive at times, but that’s to be expected — it’s designed to be read one paragraph a day, not in three sittings

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. My review is left voluntarily.

A Tree a Day by Amy-Jane Beer What a treasure!. Concise, informative information on trees and their histories. Many beautiful pictures. So many different varieties, a whole new world of trees. Highly recommended.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Thank you for the EArc. A Tree A Day is quite literally 365 trees, real, mythical, and fictional. There was so much information and so much beauty in each entry. Lovely read, the only miss is (spoiler alert) no Halloween Tree on 10/31 which is a favorite.

A Tree A Day gives the reader a bird’s eye view of trees worldwide and their connection to humans and facts and history about them.

Looking at and reading about one tree a day would be ideal. That way, you can give the information time to sink in before moving on to another tree.

I love trees, so I’m drawn to this book. The photographs are stunning. There are so many unusual trees. I especially enjoyed the Wyndham Prison tree in Australia, the Bottle Tree in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and the Money Trees in England. With 365 trees, everyone should be able to find favorites.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing an ebook for me to read and review.

Such an interesting book! I think reading about a tree is a great way to start each day. I like that it features real trees and their histories, alongside the fictional and mythological. The photographs and images in the e-ARC I read were blurry, though I'm sure that was just how it appeared in the reader. Each page has enough text to draw you into that particular day's tree, a starting point for if you wanted to then go and read about it in more detail.

Beautifully done! I enjoyed the daily tree love! Thank you for the opportunity to review A Tree a Day, it is wonderful! I highly recommend to anyone who loves trees, the photographs are top notch and it very informative.

“I think that I shall never see a poem so lovely as a tree”, excerpted from the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer (1913). Revel in a glorious celebration of 365 trees from around the world and the festivals, traditions, legends, artists and writers inspired by their magnificent splendor. Extensively researched and full of beautiful photography, rich illustrations and historical anecdotes, this book would be the perfect gift for any nature-lover in your life!

A beautiful book!

The poem for June 1st really resonated with me and I've asked the publisher if I could create a poster of the poem with an inset of the book cover and sell the books for them. (So how is that for an endorsement?!?!)

The pictures are beautiful and as a tree hugger (and American Conifer Society member conifersociety.org) I've learned a lot of miscellaneous facts / knowledge about trees. Definitely more than I thought.

Highly recommended. I'm planning to order a copy.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review the advance read copy of A Tree a Day in exchange for an honest review, to the author Amy-Jane Beer and to the publisher Chronicle Books..

As the name says, this is a book of photographs about 365 trees. They are beautiful. I wonder if the author photographed and went to see each of these trees, in which case: (a) that was a fantastic feat; and (b) it makes it so much more meaningful. What a great adventure for anyone who likes to travel. Note: some of the trees aren't actual trees, such as painted rocks of trees. But still awesome. Each photo comes with a short description.

As a self proclaimed tree hugger, this book was a delight. This book has highlighted some of the most beautiful and unique trees throughout history. Really enjoyed the history, art and lore provided.

I loooved this book! The concept, the cover, featuring a tree a day just made me happy. It made me take the time to learn about trees featured in this book I had not heard about before. I have always had an affinity for trees, there are trees I have stood in front of and it made me grab my heart. This book at one time made me weep it touched me that much. When we have had someone born in our family we plant a tree in honor of them and celebrate the beginning of their life on this earth. Much meaning goes into the selection of the tree and where it is planted on our acreage. This book inspired me even more in my lifelong quest to continue to learn about trees.

My favorite about this book:
It used the word majestic upfront because trees are that, majestic! I grew up with one of the most iconic trees in the world The Lone Cypress. I watched how it involved in protection over the years and in the area where I grew up there are certain trees that only grow there on the Monterey Peninsula and to anywhere else in the world. It made me curious, why and that began a lifelong quest for knowledge about understanding trees especially the soul of trees. When I was in Master Gardener classes we focused on trees a lot and I learned about trees when they are injured never heal but form a scar around the wound and have amazing survival properties that their rings will tell so much of their life history. Anyway back to A Tree A Day and why I like it so much. This book gave me the same feeling that I had when I first saw the Lone Cypress. Trees have meant a great deal to millions of us, right? They give us food, shelter, shade, shelter from wind, etc. and for many of us such as myself, I've planted a tree for every family member and for every grandchild born. This book touches on the majesty of trees and why they are so valuable. I loved the format of this book, a Tree A Day. It wasn't busy, it wasn't too detailed, it just gave something we could read about a tree every day and that is a wonderful concept. Most notable for me of course when the author included The Lone Cypress but there are many others that she featured that spoke to me such as the Tunnel of Love in Ukraine, the Chestnut tree that gave Ann Frank so much comfort, and that she wrote about often, Chene Chapelle, The Money Tree, The Hungry Tree on and on. It's a beautiful book and I just don't buy many tangible books but I can't wait to buy this one for my coffee table. Trees. I wish I could plant one a day. I've planted over fifty on our property and to try to convey why trees mean so much to us isn't easy but this book is easy on the eyes and food for my soul.

I received an ARC and am giving a very heartfelt honest review for a book. I can't wait to purchase A Tree A Day when it comes out on April 4th, 2022.

.

This would be great as a coffee table book or to put on the nightstand to refer to each night before bed. Each day features a tree or specific type of tree and tells you why they are unique and memorable. I learned so much reading this one! Definitely a book I'd love to take in one day at a time. Great for any nature lover.

Thank you Chronicle Books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

A Tree a Day is a book that can be gifted to nature lovers. I liked the diverse trees covered in this book and why each tree is important. The author asks the question, what does a tree mean to you and we realize that every person's answer could be different. This book is a reminder of the beauty of trees and their importance in our lives. A Tree a Day is a beautiful book that teaches every reader something new.
