Combining science with poetry, this collection of haiku extols the wonder of trees through poems that engage with every season and stage of the life cycle, from seed to photosynthesis.

From the giant tree ferns of the forests primeval to the hardy sycamores of today's urban forests, experience the essence of trees through poems that engage with every season and stage of the life cycle, from seed to photosynthesis. A broad exploration of a majestic subject, this collection of haiku touches on such topics as the importance of trees to other living creatures and the communication of trees with one another through a complex network of roots. Paired with Angela Mckay's bold, bright, beautifully patterned artwork, Sally M. Walker's third collection, a companion to Earth Verse and Out of This World, encourages respect and care for our arboreal neighbors. Back matter includes a time line, an author's note, a glossary, and a select bibliography for curious readers.
