Review A radiant and buoyant picture book.-- The Horn BookThis is one of those books which prick a child into a realization of the beauty of the everyday world.-- The New York Times From the Inside Flap Los arboles son hermosos. A veces ocultan el cielo. Si tienes un arbol puedes trepar a lo alto de su copa, rodar entre sus hojas cidas y colgar un columpio en una de sus ramas. Los pajaros hacen sus nidos en ellos. Su sombra da abrigo tanto a los ninos como a los animales. Es hermoso vivir cerca de un arbol.

About the Author Mrs. Udrys first book, A Tree Is Nice, illustrated by Marc Simont, won the 1957 Caldecott Award for the most distinguished American picture book. Mrs. Udry is also the author of Glenda, Lets Be Enemies (also illustrated by Maurice Sendak), Mary Anns Mud Day, The Mean Mouse and Other Mean Stories, and Thump and Plunk. Marc Simont was born in 1915 in Paris. His parents were from the Catalonia region of Spain, and his childhood was spent in France, Spain, and the United States. Encouraged by his father, Joseph Simont, an artist and staff illustrator for the magazine LIllustration, Marc Simont drew from a young age. Though he later attended art school in Paris and New York, he considers his father to have been his greatest teacher. When he was nineteen, Mr. Simont settled in America permanently, determined to support himself as an artist. His first illustrations for a childrens book appeared in 1939. Since then, Mr. Simont has illustrated nearly a hundred books, working with authors as diverse as Margaret Wise Brown and James Thurber. He won a Caldecott Honor in 1950 for illustrating Ruth Krausss The Happy Day, and in in 1957 he was awarded the Caldecott Medal for his pictures in A Tree is Nice, by Janice May Udry. Internationally acclaimed for its grace, humor, and beauty, Marc Simonts art is in collections as far afield at the Kijo Picture Book Museum in Japan, but the honor he holds most dear is having been chosen as the 1997 Illustrator of the Year in his native Catalonia. Mr. Simont and his wife have one grown son, two dogs and a cat. They live in West Cornwall, Connecticut. Marc Simonts most recent book is The Stray Dog.
