A stunning illustrated introduction to the most important North
American trees.
"A poetic picture book for young and old that has the accuracy of field
guide." - Swiss Public Broadcasting
Winner of the White Raven Award from the International Youth Library
Foundation, author and illustrator Lisa Voisard captures a child's sense
of wonder for the natural world. In Arborama, her first book available
in English, Voisard submerses readers in the marvelous world of trees:
how they reproduce and grow from tiny seeds into the largest plants on
earth, how they make our life possible, and how they even communicate
with one another. Over more than 200 lavishing-illustrated pages,
readers will learn to identify more than 30 key North American
trees--from favorites such as sugar maple and Douglas fir, to lesser
known varieties such as the southern magnolia or weeping willow. Come to
appreciate the marvelous world of trees all around you!
