Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Designed especially for curious young minds, The Secrets of Trees reveals the remarkable mysteries of nature while igniting a deep appreciation for the world around us.
Through engaging storytelling and fascinating illustrations, children will uncover the extraordinary secrets that lie within the anatomy of trees. As they flip through the pages, young readers will learn how trees communicate, nourish themselves, and support the diverse ecosystems they inhabit. They'll marvel at the ingenious ways trees adapt to their environment - and vice versa - from defending against predators to harnessing the power of sunlight for growth. They will also be invited to reflect on how trees and humans coexist.
The Secrets of Trees provides basic knowledge about both the vital functions of trees in a larger context and the structural characteristics of their many parts. Children will discover how trees grow, eat, drink, breathe, and sleep. They'll learn how trees defend themselves, how they sometimes attack, how they reproduce, and even in some incredible cases, how they move! Young readers will also be invited to reflect on how trees and humans coexist.
