If the plot's complex, the theme resounding through this powerful trilogy couldn't be clearer: we have the power to choose love over hate and life over death, to forgive ourselves and others; either all life matters or none of it does.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Action and event dominate the story, but Kwaymullina develops the imagery and relationships established in earlier volumes to undergird all with a web of loyalty, compassion, and commitment to &#8220;connection&#8221; between beings&#8212; human, animal, and android. Transparent in ideals and political concepts, the book nevertheless sustains its own vivid world of a sensate forest, animal spirit beings, futuristic technology, and enduring love.&#8212;The Horn Book

&ldquo;Conversations with Trees has never been more important. Twenty-five years ago, Stephanie Kaza&rsquo;s lyric, wondering prose invited readers to listen to what trees teach about the glistening webs that connect all of life. Now, as global warming brings hellfire and tempests to the forests, we must listen to what their sinewy strength tells us about suffering, regeneration, and redemption.&rdquo;&mdash;Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Wild Comfort&ldquo;A beautiful exploration of the intelligence and mystery of trees. These essays kindle both curiosity and awe, inviting us into deeper relationship with our sylvan elders.&rdquo;&mdash;David George Haskell, author of Burroughs medalist, The Songs of Trees, and Pulitzer finalist, The Forest UnseenPraise for the original edition:&ldquo;This is a beautifully written, imaginative, appreciation of trees.&rdquo;&mdash;Publisher&rsquo;s Weekly&ldquo;Kaza has answered the alluring call of the trees, transcending the limitations of species to romp among them. Her book gives us a rare glimpse of the wisdom that a deep, open-hearted encounter with nature can afford us.&rdquo;&mdash;Yoga Journal &ldquo;In Conversations with Trees we recover our primordial intimacy with trees. We are sheltered, nourished, and inspired by trees both physically and spiritually. Our loss of the forests and woodlands of the world is the loss of so many of our deepest interior experiences: the grace of the willow, the vigor of the oak, the flow of the American elm and the ash, the toughness of hickory. In this volume our sensitivity, our attentive heart, is awakened and from there we are on our own.&rdquo;&mdash;Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth  &ldquo;Stephanie Kaza&rsquo;s book is a triumph&mdash;Deep Ecology writing at its most humbly, powerfully evocative. Her encounters with trees teach us to know&mdash;and, in knowing, to love&mdash;both world and self. For here each tree, in disclosing its own story, its own beauty, reveals the beholder&rsquo;s as well. Each tells us, in a different voice, that if we are to preserve the natural world, we must let it feed our souls.&rdquo;&mdash;Joanna Macy, author of World as Lover, World as Self &#160;&ldquo;In the tradition of Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, Conversations with Trees draws the reader into the deeper meanings and more heartfelt connections with nature. The book should be read by all people who want to reconnect to the Tree of Life, to our sacred connections with forests.&rdquo;&mdash;William Devall, author of Deep Ecology &ldquo;A delightful book that greatly deepened my appreciation for trees and for people who take the time to educate the rest of us about how to converse with them.&rdquo;&mdash;Turning Wheel &#160; &ldquo;The lessons Kaza has learned and here conveyed are both profound and mundane, like most important truths.&rdquo;&mdash;Wild Earth &ldquo;For those who slow down when passing a particularly magnificent elm, or dawdle on hikes to appreciate the solitary birch, Conversations with Trees assures: take heart, you are not alone.&rdquo;&mdash;Vermont Times&ldquo;Stephanie Kaza&rsquo;s rich work gives trees a voice, Davis Te Selle&rsquo;s lithographs, a shape. Together they give us a unique document, an extended meditation on the forest of green wilderness that we live in and need in order to survive. . . . A heartfelt celebration of trees and a graceful call to let their patient wildness grow back through the openings in our minds.&rdquo;&mdash;China Galland, author of Longing for Darkness &ldquo;We measure the richness of our lives by the friends we are privileged to make and keep. In Conversations with Trees, Stephanie Kaza introduces us to new friends&mdash;mysterious, simple, dying, working, lovely friends&mdash;friends for life, if you wish. She gives us the gifts of fact, spirit, role, and beauty of trees.&rdquo;&mdash;Michael Fischer, former Executive Director, Sierra Club

"As we all know, it is very difficult to break into an apartment building and investigate the activities of its inhabitants. &#160;Luckily, Chris Raschka has managed to do this for us, so we may enjoy these marvelously intriguing stories without going to prison."&#160;&mdash;Lemony Snicket"Raschka brings readers to Manhattan's Upper East Side in this delightful novel told through linked stories, set in and around a fictional apartment building...it's an off-kilter vision of New York City that feels simultaneously true in its bones." &mdash;Publishers Weekly, "Best Middle Grade Books of 2017""Raschka writes with a mixture of lighthearted humour, irony and earnestness. He creates a vision of New York City that&rsquo;s fantastical, eccentric but charming, and at times, laugh-out-loud funny...Each story features a full-page impressionistic illustration by Raschka. Readers will likely return to these and ponder them for clues and insights&hellip;[The Doorman&rsquo;s Repose]&#160;shows exceptional storytelling ability, craftsmanship and a love for language. This is a rare book that can delight young as well as adult audiences.&rdquo; &mdash;Julie Hakim Azzam,&#160;TLS"A grand old apartment building at 777 Garden Ave. on Manhattan's Upper East Side is the setting for a series of tales filled with humor, imagination, and sweetness. Raschka creates a plethora of wonderfully eccentric characters, human and otherwise&hellip;stories roam all over the building and back and forth through many years with quirky, interconnected characters in starring roles&hellip;.A warm, wonderful delight for readers young and old.&rdquo; &#160;&mdash;Kirkus&#160;starred review&ldquo;[A] humorous, thought-provoking collection of stories...Imagination is built into every detail...The sophisticated writing style makes this book most appropriate for a middle-grade audience, though older readers will also appreciate 777 Garden Avenue&rsquo;s intricacies. Ultimately, this curious character study reveals how everyone is connected, whether by fleeting interaction or grand gesture.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist&ldquo;[Raschka&rsquo;s] rich vocabulary creates characters that are believable, while also taking ordinary events and making them sound magical&hellip;This is a delightful read and the stories will be remembered by the reader for a long time. Teachers, students, and school librarians will definitely want to add this to their collections.&rdquo; &mdash;School Library Connection"It doesn&rsquo;t seem quite fair that Chris Raschka, so adept at telling stories pictorially, should be equally brilliant at telling them with words, but he is.&#160; What is it really like to live in the greatest city in the world?&#160; Read this tribute to the human and animal tenants of a quirky old apartment building in uptown Manhattan and you&rsquo;ll know.&#160;&#160;The Doorman&rsquo;s Repose&#160;is funny and moving and what those of us who write for young readers all secretly aspire to and almost never pull off: a book that will be devoured and cherished by kids and parents alike."&#160;&mdash;Tor Seidler "O. Henry proposed four million New York stories, but he was off by ten: the droll and expressive episodes offered in Chris Raschka&rsquo;s&#160;The Doorman&rsquo;s Repose. Set in an Upper East Side apartment building at a smart address, Raschka&rsquo;s stories use comic understatement alongside ink wash illustrations in retailing everyday moments in the interconnected lives of residents both high and low. To the company of ur-New Yorkers like&#160;Stuart Little,&#160;Harriet the Spy, and&#160;Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, let me hold open the door for&#160;The Doorman&rsquo;s Repose. A new favorite."&#160;&mdash;Gregory Maguire&ldquo;Raschka&rsquo;s genius lies in capturing the essence of situations that are deeply felt&#160;by children.&rdquo; &mdash;School Library Journal
