Winner: The Wilderness Society's Environment Award for Children's
Literature We depend on trees for our survival, yet few of us
understand just how fascinating these beings really are. With a
foreword by the world-renowned anthropologist Jane Goodall, Tree
Beings is an adventure through the secret world of trees.
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, you'll meet some of the
scientists and explorers who helped uncover the mysteries of the
world's oldest living things. You'll encounter the eccentric
British professor who travelled the world for seventy years telling
people how trees can save us, and you'll learn about the
9-year-old-boy who has a plan to plant a trillion trees to save the
planet! You'll 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. 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. Trees are essential to our world. Tree Beings is your
guide to appreciating trees through the stories of people who love
them. So strap on your hiking boots, and enjoy this informative
adventure through the wonderful world of Tree Beings!
