Meet the Author/Illustrator
Born and raised in Chicago, IL, Ellen Dutton was fortunate to grow up near the woods of the Forest Preserves. Her time spent there, during all seasons, planted the passion Ellen has for nature. As a biologist and an environmental educator, Ellen is now sharing that passion and promoting practices of stewardship and sustainability.
Praise
“Dutton weaves a whimsical tale of personal growth through a proverbial walk in someone–or something–else’s shoes. A Tree for a Year offers an optimistic outlook for sustainability, uplifting the choices available to humans to thrive in unity with the ecosystems we inhabit. The sense of shared responsibility for protecting the Earth’s trees and natural resources imparted by her story will avail readers both young, and young at heart.”
—Kate Addleson, director of the Sierra Club’s Virginia Chapter
“In A Tree for a Year, Ellen Dutton invites children to understand and appreciate nature. Through a creative human transformation, we learn the dynamic value of trees in our world. Dutton’s elegant style offers both adults and children an opportunity to reframe our shortsighted view of nature and increase our awareness of the many gifts that trees and nature provide.”
—Dave Bauer, author of What’s Under That Rock, Papa?
