Why Do Trees Shiver?

Imagine you're standing in a field, and the wind starts to blow. You feel it pushing against your body, making you move back and forth, like when you're dancing with a friend. Trees do something similar! When the wind hits them from one side, they sway a bit, almost like they’re shivering. This motion helps them breathe better in the wind and stay strong.
