Branches of Hope: The 9/11 Survivor Tree

The branches of the 9/11 Survivor Tree poked through the rubble at Ground Zero. They were glimpses of hope in the weeks after September 11, 2001. In this moving tribute to a city and its people, a wordless story of a young child accompanies the tree's history. As the tree heals, the girl grows into an adult, and by the 20th anniversary of 9/11, she has become a firefighter like her first-responder uncle.

Remember and honor the events of 9/11 and celebrate how hope appears in the midst of hardship with this powerful picture book that tells the story of how the Survivor Tree found at Ground Zero was rescued, rehabilitated, and then replanted at the 9/11 Memorial site in 2011, even as the people around it recovered — together. With an author's note and additional information about the tree, this is a poignant but hopeful real-life fable about survival and healing.
