Find inspiration and comfort through short but insightful text, paired with simple nature illustrations.
Trees have bared witness to so much and have weathered so many storms. For best-selling author Douglas Wood, they have always been teachers and sources of inspiration. In The Things Trees Know, Doug presents a whispering grove full of wisdom. His brief meditations portray the parallels between trees' lives and ours. His insightful text and lovely pen-and-ink illustrations reveal the knowledge we can gain from trees.
Walk this wooded trail and find a shaft of sunlight, a ray of hope, a living landmark, and perhaps the answer to a question or two. The Things Trees Know could change your outlook on life.
