The Wisdom of Trees

A lyrical and informational nonfiction picture book that tells the story of trees and the hidden ecosystems they create.

Trees may seem like stoic, independent organisms, but in fact, they are nature's number one community builders. They create intricate networks in their environments that go far beyond offering a hollow log for a home or seeds for food. In this stunning nonfiction picture book, Lita Judge pairs poems with factoid sidebars to tell the remarkable story of trees. Packed with accessible information and finely illustrated, The Wisdom of Trees is a fascinating exploration of how trees communicate, learn from their ancestors, and give back to their communities.
