Trees are universal – growing everywhere in the world. Some we enjoy as shade, some to hold our tree hut to play in. Many provide fruit or hold our summer swings and hammocks in place.

More importantly though, trees are powered by the sun. They give animals and birds a home, give us our rain, save our soil, clean up pollution, and ultimately fight climate change. Isn’t that amazing?

For decades, people of all ages across the world have known this and put their lives in danger to save ancient forests from logging and felling for farmland, or even turning native trees into toilet seats!

Tree beings are people who love trees, and this book introduces you to many people who have done all they can to save them. This book is separated into 4 parts:

Life in the trees – Living in a tree and how trees give life and more

Trees can save us – Learning about people who taught millions about the wonder of trees

Trees are like beings – Did you know trees can talk to each other? They have their own internet!

Trees need our help – Trees look after us … let’s look after trees

From the stunning (hardback) front cover to the endpapers of this book, Tree Beings is absolutely sumptuous with illustration, inspiring and helpful information, fun search and finds, and two mazes.

Many people who have stood up for trees over the past few decades, right up to the present; are highlighted through both non-fiction and fiction, which takes the reader among the branches high above the ground and loggers.

Four ‘Big Idea’ sections show the reader the world of the tree and how much they are a part of our lives.

Trees can be a key part of fighting Climate Change, but we have to help them do it. Stunning.
