Although trees may seem like silent, independent organisms, they form a network buzzing with life: they talk, share food, raise their young, and offer protection. Trees thrive on diversity, learn from their ancestors, and give back to their communities. Trees not only sustain life on our planet--they can also teach us important lessons about patience, survival, and teamwork. <p/><b>A New York Public Library Best Book of 2021<br>A New York Public Library Top Ten Book for Kids<br></b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Wonderful illustrations and poetry highlight cutting-edge scientific information about how trees communicate and share information.
