Text by Pavel Kvartalnov, illustrated by Natalia Alatortseva
An illustrated journey through the lifecycle of a tree leaf and its importance to the plant ecology.
People and plants have far more things in common than many of us realize. Just like us, plants look for vital resources needed for life, protect themselves from diseases and predators, from frost and bright sunlight, and communicate with each other. Following Tilly, a young linden seed leaf, and his friends, readers will learn about the life of a tree leaf throughout the seasons, and what role leaves play in shaping their environment. Both factual and beautiful, this book will fill readers with a sense of wonder at the magic of the natural world.
