This book provides basic knowledge about both the vital functions of trees in a larger context, as well as, the structural characteristics of their many parts. Children will discover how trees are born, eat, drink, breathe and sleep; how they defend themselves; how they sometimes attack; how they reproduce; and even, in some incredible cases, how they move! Young readers will also be invited to reflect on how trees and humans can coexist. Clear and schematic images, as well as evocative natural illustrations will make children feel closer to and more reverent of the magnificent trees we all depend on.
