A wonderful, informative story of how trees think, behave and grow through the seasons and through life’s challenges.
Joe Robson has written a highly informative story on how trees survive and grow. It’s written for children but even I as an adult found it very interesting and learned a thing or two. The information is just right for young minds to grasp onto the facts and let their imagination yearn for more details.
Lorna Gray has illustrated the book beautifully and quite simply in places when less is more was required.
A great introduction to nature and opening up young minds to explore more about the world around us.
