Tree Beings

We depend on trees for our survival, yet few of us understand just how fascinating these beings really are. Tree Beings is your guide to appreciating trees through the stories of people who love them. Challenging the perception that trees are just ‘silent statues’, it focuses on four big ideas: Trees give life to the planet; Trees can help save us from climate change; Trees are like beings; Trees need our help and protection. Along the way, readers meet some of the scientists and explorers who helped uncover the mysteries of the world’s oldest living things. Readers also learn the science behind trees, including discoveries about how they ‘talk’ and why they are our best allies in the fight to slow down climate change. Additionally, readers explore tree wisdom from many different cultures and some famous and fascinating tree species, brought to life in a vibrant combination of illustrations and text. A timely, essential book recommended for ages 7 to 12.
