The Climbing Tree — John E. Stith
The Climbing Tree is an eloquent, poetic fable with a timeless message about growing up, sibling rivalry, and brotherhood.
Little Brother wants to follow Big Brother up the branches of the Climbing Tree, but Mom tells him he has to wait until he's older. When he's big enough to go up, Little Brother makes a difficult discovery: no matter how high he climbs, Big Brother will always be a branch ahead. In the make-believe world within the tree, the brothers transform into majestic birds, and mountains, and finally moons as they grow, but Little Brother can't help but feeling...less, when compared to Big Brother. Will the two ever be able to share the same space?
