나무는 아름다워요. 하늘을 가득 메우죠. 나무가 있다면, 기둥을 오를 수도 있고, 나뭇잎을 굴리고, 나뭇가지에 그네를 매달 수도 있어요. 소들과 아기들이 나무 그늘 아래서 낮잠을 청할 수도 있고요. 새들은 가지 위에 둥지를 틀 수도 있어요. 나무가 곁에 있으면 좋아요. 나무는 좋아요!

“A radiant and buoyant picture book.” ─The Horn Book

A Tree Is Nice is a classic tale about the beauty of the everyday world. "Simont's watercolors perfectly complement the poetic simplicity of the text, allowing the reader room to engage in his or her own imaginative embroiderings about trees" (Children's Books and Their Creators).

Trees are beautiful. They fill up the sky. If you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk, roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of its limbs. Cows and babies can nap in the shade of a tree. Birds can make nests in the branches. A tree is good to have around. A tree is nice.
