Summary

Throughout human history, we have relied on trees to build, create, and shape the world we live in, from the first ships that we built to the fruit that we eat, medicines, chocolate and even clothes. Tales from the Treetops travels the world, continent by continent, featuring trees whose roots are also intertwined with our own history, appearing in the myths and legends of ancient civilizations.

Containing fascinating natural history facts and stunning illustrations, this sumptuous gift book for children is a beautiful celebration of the lungs of our earth. With a foreword by environmentalist and trustee of the Eden Project, Jonathan Drori.
