Description

A gorgeously illustrated picture book that celebrates our connections to nature and to each other while empowering young readers to help protect the earth, from a beloved British poet, musician, actor, and activist.

In this powerful love letter to nature, a child who befriends a tree grows up and fights to protect it. With its spare, lyrical text; sumptuous illustrations; and back matter about trees, oxygen, and the carbon cycle, this inviting, inspiring call to save our planet is perfect for Earth Day, and every day.

"Striking art depicts a forest filled with lush flora and fauna that comes alive. . . . The text and images work together, creating both a universal plea and a specific, moving story. An exquisitely crafted ode to trees, sure to inspire budding environmental activists." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
