Nuggies says; “A little dog dreams of all the things she could see and the
creatures she might meet--if only she could climb trees. On one blue-sky day,
she imagines she's climbed to the top of a tall tree. Once there, she discovers
what life is like for the other creatures in the tree and then comes to find they
also dream their own little dreams. Together they picture a world where bugs
have shoes for their little feet; birds have paws to bury treats; and yes, even
four-legged little Nuggies can climb trees! Moving between day and night, If I Could Climb Trees is a whimsical bedtime story which encourages children to
explore their imaginations, dream bigger dreams, and see the world through the
eyes of others.”
The author, Jeff
Minich describes his book as; “I'm so pleased to share this
latest Nuggies story,’ said Jeff Minich, Author of If I Could Climb Trees. ‘It takes
children on a fantastic journey while also
encouraging them to consider the world through many different points of view.
Building empathy and understanding for others is a key theme of the Nuggies book
series, and one which is woven throughout this latest book.’”

While I have not
personally read this book, I like what I see on the website – and if you visit
the Nuggies website, you will be able to download free coloring pages! The idea of
imagining what life might be like for others – just to discover they may wonder
what life might be like for you – is a great way to start conversations with
children about how they are able to understand and care about others.
