The Dancing Trees English Edition 2015 Jill DoerflerThe Dancing Trees by Masiana Kelly, an Inuk Dene writer from Kugluktuk, NU, and illustrated by Michelle Simpson, is about Thomas who loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is. He spends a night alone in the forest where the trees, who have heard his stories, watch him tear off their bark and litter as he goes.
