"Our leaves rustle, Our roots whisper. If you were a tree, what would
you whisper to me?" Mandy Ross has been listening closely to the trees,
from the willow to the eucalyptus, and the sycamore to the oak. These
fascinating poems, beautifully illustrated by Juliana Oakley, imagine
the songs they are singing to us and the verses they speak. With a
strong environmental message, the book awakens us to the rich, unique
and irreplaceable biodiversity of tree life and the many species that
depend on it - including ourselves.
