Trees are part of the fabric of our lives. We depend on them for oxygen, shade, and lumber. Animals call them home. Yet, we often wander by trees without really seeing them. In this young readers’ edition of Peter Wohlleben’s The Hidden Life of Trees, children discover how trees drink and breathe, how they talk, what they’re afraid of, how they clean our water, and so much more.
