Going Down Home with Daddy: Mighty Family Tree Activity (PDF) Trees make each other resilient and strong. Trees warn each other of dangers and share resources. Trees are even said to “talk” to each other through their roots. They grow together in fields, in forests, in groves, and jungles.
They grow because of sunshine, bees, beetles, dirt, worms, rainfall, wind, and unexpected things. Trees do not just grow because one branch makes another. You might have been asked to do a family tree showing who your parents are and who their parents were and who their parents were…and so on. In the Caldecott Honored picture book Going Down Home with Daddy(Peachtree Publishing), author Kelly Starling Lyons calls the family, “mighty.” The Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival created this activity to explore the definition of family and the beautiful complexity of a true family tree.
