Arbor Day Square
By Kathryn O. Galbraith
Reviews
Did you know that Arbor Day was first celebrated in the state of Nebraska
on April 10, 1872, and became a legal holiday in that state in 1885? Treat
your children to the heartwarming story of how a developing prairie
town in the late 1800’s becomes a warm, connected community as they
work together to plant trees in the new town square. Through the eyes
of young Katie, the town square becomes an important gathering place
that strengthens the bond between neighbors and provides a community
history for future generations. Written to commemorate the founding of
Arbor Day, this children’s book is beautifully illustrated, and is sure to be a
favorite that will be read over and over again. (©2010, hardcover, 30 pp.,
