Have you ever wondered if trees can communicate with each other?
Well they can. Recently, scientists have discovered that forests
communicate via underground networks of fungal threads knows as
'the wood wide web'. In this picture book for young children, we
meet a little fir tree sapling who is stretching her first leaves
into a dark ancient forest full of huge trees. She feels very
lonely and she can't reach any light or water. Her worried feeling
sinks down to the tips of her roots, which little does she know,
are connected to the wood wide web. The fungal network sends her
message all over the forest! "little tree needs help!" The message
reaches mother trees who can't spare the energy from their own
little ones, others who are sick and can't help but ultimately, one
friendly paper birch tree helps her in her time of need. When the
winter comes and birch tree needs help in return, the strong, not
so little fir tree withe her evergreen leaves can come to the
rescue. Our little tree learns that she is part of a loving, caring
community, filled with family and kind strangers of entirely
different species. She learns all the ways that there are to care
and be cared for, and most importantly that she is not alone. After
all, the forest is only as strong as its smallest tree. Trees can
communicate using up to '50 words' and can send messages of
distress, warn each other about incoming danger in the form of
disease or pests, learn which trees are their parents and which are
their offspring. If a tree is in danger, others can send spare
sugars and water via the network and even sabotage trees they see
as a threat. And they do it all via the wood wide web. This is a
powerful book, that teaches children about a hugely important
discovery in contemporary science, about a secret world beneath our
feet and most importantly, about the strength that comes with
asking for help, and discovering that you are not alone.
