The voices of the trees
There are so many things we can learn from trees! In this book, Fernando Reimers, Professor of International Education at Harvard University, and Elisa Guerra, named "Best Educator in Latin America and the Caribbean" by the IDB, come together to create a series of six stories in different cities and regions of the Americas, in which trees are the protagonists.

* The celebration and integration of diversity;
* Social solidarity towards those less favored;
* Empathy towards other beings different from us;
* Responsibility towards planetary sustainability;
* and validation of feelings of vulnerability and hope.
