Nell Plants a Tree

Nell Plants a Tree shows how one little girl's careful tending of a pecan tree creates the living center of a loving, intergenerational Black family. Before her grandchildren climbed the towering tree, explored its secret nests, raced to its sturdy trunk, read in its cool shade, or made pies with its pecans...Nell buried a seed. And just as Nell's tree grows and thrives with her love and care, so do generations of her close-knit family.
