‘Trees are marvellous beings’ concludes the text of this beautifully illustrated and heart-warming picture book, and the reader will certainly agree. Each gorgeous double page tells us a fact about trees and in a way that makes us see them as our friends: ‘Trees have their head in the clouds and their feet on the ground … Trees provide homes to many and shade for all.’ The illustrations, textured mixed media, are stunning, the trees stylised but realistic, and this book reminds us both of how important trees are to our world, and of their beauty. ~Andrea Reece
Trees change through the seasons - springing to life, bearing fruit and losing their leaves. They clean the air we breathe, provide seeds and homes for creatures and extend their shade to everyone equally. Trees is a poetic picture book that invites the reader to take a closer look at the magnificent trees that surround us.
