Trees are Wild Things
Captivating illustrations and tales celebrate the untamed nature of trees that inspire flights of fancy and plant seeds of things unseen and conceived in a child’s eye. From myths, folktales and fables to contemporary stories, children will be taken into a tangle of tales transforming trees into a “shade spiller” or a bear cave or even a “house held up by trees” with a little help from a wide-eyed child’s winged imagination.
