NOTES

"An eye-opening adventure into the secret language of trees, unveiling clues hidden in branches, roots, leaves, and more"--

Trees are keen to tell us so much: about themselves, the land, the water, the people, the animals, the weather, and time. To understand their story, you have to know how to read it. Gooley helps readers uncover the clues hiding in a tree's branches and leaves; its bark, buds, and flowers-- even in its stump. No two trees are exactly alike, and each difference reveals the story of how this tree lived-- if we stop to look closely. -- adapted from back cover
