You'll encounter the eccentric British professor who travelled the world for seventy years telling people how trees can save us, and you'll learn about the 9-year-old-boy who has a plan to plant a trillion trees to save the planet!</p><p>You'll also learn the science behind trees, including discoveries about how they 'talk' and why they are our best allies in the fight to slow down climate change. Explore tree wisdom from many different cultures and some famous and fascinating tree species, brought to life in a vibrant combination of illustrations and text.</p><p>Trees are essential to our world. <i>Tree Beings</i> is your guide to appreciating trees through the stories of people who love them.

It's somewhat unusual to find a children's book with a foreword from the best-known primatologist in the world, Dr Jane Goodall, but I can see why she lent her name to this collection of true stories about environmental change-makers. <p/> Severgnini has an eye for detail and a wide range of abilities, which see her illustrations go from Brian Lovelock levels of technical detail, to exquisite biological sketches of chimp hands, fruit, and insects.--<i><b>Sarah Forster, The Sapling</b></i><br><br>This is the most beautiful and inspirational book. ...Trees are amazing, and [<i>Tree Beings</i>] encourages us to make friends with one and save the world.--<i><b>JUNO Magazine</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Raymond Huber</b> is a children's author, teacher, and editor. His acclaimed picture books, <i>Flight of the Honey Bee</i> and <i>Gecko</i>, are published in several countries; his junior novels, <i>Sting</i> and <i>Wings</i>, are science-fiction about bees; and <i>Peace Warriors</i> is a young adults' book about non-violence. Raymond has also written many educational books. He lives in New Zealand and was the Creative NZ-Otago University Writer in Residence in 2018.</p><p><b>Sandra Severgnini</b> owned an art gallery and retail store before finally deciding it was well and truly time to nurture her lifetime passion and focus on children's picture books. Her fascination with the magical natural world around her inspires her words and brings sensitivity and humour to her illustrations.</p><p><b>Jane Goodall</b> is one of the world's foremost primatologists and anthropologists. In July 1960, at the age of 26, she travelled from England to what is now Tanzania and ventured into the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars, and her fascination with wildlife, Jane braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into humankind's closest living relatives. Through nearly 60 years of groundbreaking work, Goodall has highlighted the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction, and has redefined species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. Today she travels the world, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees, other species, humanity and environmental crises, urging each of us to take action on behalf of all living things and planet we share.</p>
