A poignant tale of childhood and the ties of family, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn will transport the reader to the early 1900s where a little girl named Francie dreamily looks out her window at a tree struggling to reach the sky.

Available for digital checkout in Libby.

In partnership with the DG Park District. Register through the Downers Grove Public Library.

Meeting place: Patriots Park/Barth Pond pavilion at 501 55th Pl, Downers Grove, IL 60515. Contact the Adult & Teen Services department at ATS@dglibrary.org for more information.
