The Great Oak Tree

Discover the enchanting world of nature's resilience and the unbreakable bond between a curious Blackbird and a steadfast guardian tree in this beautifully illustrated, lyrical non-fiction picture book.

When Blackbird questions why the old tree just stands there doing nothing, a gentle journey of discovery begins. We see all the ways in which the tree is, in fact, very busy. We learn about the science of photosynthesis and seasonal changes within the tree, and also how central the tree is central to its local ecosystem - the many ways in which it offers shelter and sustenance to the wildlife all around. Then, when the tree itself is under attack, Blackbird is quick to help defend it.
