The Things That I LOVE about TREES

Description

A very young non-fiction picture book that looks at how a tree changes with the seasons, with charming illustrations by Charlotte Voake. Learn how a plum tree changes with the seasons in this charming non-fiction picture book, beautifully illustrated by Charlotte Voake. Chris Butterworth's gentle, lyrical text describes how the buds of the plum tree bloom in the spring and how its leaves grow green and lush in the summer. Time goes by, and soon we see those same leaves fall in the autumn - now the branches are bare for the cold winter-months. With exquisite watercolour illustrations by Charlotte Voake, this is a book to treasure.

"a breezy and zestful picture-book appreciation of trees and the changes they undergo with the cycle of the seasons." -- Timothy Knapman * The Wall Street Journal * "It's a really lovely way of learning so much more about trees (and if you know us, you'll know we LOVE trees!), and the book just feels so beautifully delicate, it is definitely one that will grace our bookshelf for years to come." * Rebel Tribe *
