Tree Whispers

by Mandy Ross

Published 27 February 2023
"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.
