“Luminous and joyous, a fruit pie feast for the eyes as well as the soul.” —New York Times Book Review

“Corinna Luyken moves between the quotidian and the transcendental . . . Her text plays out sparingly from page to page amid lush illustration.” —The Wall Street Journal

“The Tree in Me is another of Luyken’s revelations. My kids (and I) want to jump into the pages of this book and stay there . . . There is alliteration and simplicity, words that in Luyken’s brilliant arrangement are by their turn punchy or soothing, descriptive without being described.” —NPR

“Artist and author Corinna Luyken draws on this intimate connection between the sylvan and the human in The Tree in Me—a lyrical meditation on the root of creativity, strength, and connection, with a spirit and sensibility kindred to her earlier emotional intelligence primer in the form of a painted poem.” —Brain Pickings

“A celebration of humankind’s connection to the natural world . . . Luyken captures the splendor of nature in her brushwork and patterns . . . a visual feast.” —Kirkus

“Layers of scumbled paint suggest a reality that can’t be entirely seen or grasped, but movement and energy pour through the spreads as the children play, run, and embrace the very air in this celebration of the way the force of nature courses through every living being.” —Publishers Weekly
