"This Old Madrone Tree" is a story of the madrone and its animal neighbors will both comfort and enchant children as they come to understand the timelessness of nature's cycles.
BIOGRAPHY
I've been creating stories and illustrating them since the first grade. I currently write nonfiction picture books and historical fiction. I love the research and finding hidden gems that will appeal to young readers.
I received a biology degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a masters degree in writing for children from Hamline University. I studied art and art history at Oregon State University, and I've taught art appreciation at local schools. My family and I recently moved to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, where I am astounded by the beauty every day.

This story of the madrone and its animal neighbors will both comfort and enchant children as they come to understand the timelessness of nature's cycles.
If ever a tree deserved a love letter, it is the Pacific madrone. Barbara Herkert's poetic story charts the life swirling around this luminous tree, from eagles to elk to hummingbirds to fungi, as it patiently stands sentinel through the seasons of the Pacific Northwest. Marlo Garnsworthy's gorgeous paintings bring the tree's scarlet berries, spangles of white flowers, and curls of russet and green bark to life.
The book includes:
- A map of madrone distribution
- An animal identification guide
- Further information for parents/teachers
- Free, downloadable curriculum on publisher's website
