'This beautifully drawn book is a delightful launchpad for home
learning' - Sunday Times
Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture book
follows the story of an oak tree on a hilltop as it witnesses life
changing around it over the course of hundreds of years. From the time
when hunters chased deer through the woodland, to when trees were
cleared for farmland, to the smog and factories emerging during the
industrial revolution., one majestic oak has seen it all, and now we can
too.
Accompanying pages at the end of the book include a timeline of events
in world history across the periods featured in the poem, the life cycle
of an oak tree, and prompts to help parents and children explore their
own local history.
