Have you ever seen a blue tree?
Well, is an oak tree blue?
What about a willow?
Or a maple?
If someone asked you what color a tree is, you’d probably say green. But trees aren’t just green!
Trees can be a rainbow of colors. Many trees even change colors through the year. My kids and I noticed some of these colors on a walk several years ago. That’s when I stumbled across the idea for Can a Tree Be Blue?.
This simple nonfiction picture book introduces children to different colors that trees can be.

More Info:
As an author and illustrator, I love encouraging kids to explore nature and science through picture books. I wrote Can a Tree Be Blue to help parents explore nature with young children and beginning readers.
That means that Can a Tree Be Blue? is more than a story about colors. It introduces kids to the ways that trees change through the year. It also shows the different shapes that leaves can be. Plus, it encourages children to take a closer at trees using a fun scavenger hunt.
Learning Resources:
Use this flower hunt as a way to explore colors and counting in nature with children.
