Description : Stripped of pretense and camouflage, trees, like human beings, are bare bones and spirit. They grow, stretch, ache, bend, and break: they provide protection and comfort. The air we breathe, the paths we walk on, the homes we build are affected greatly by the connection we have with trees. Their spirit affects our own - we are profoundly interrelated.
Much more than a simple botanical text or field guide, Humanitrees takes us on a walk through the forest to explore aspects of our human nature. Using striking photographs of trees that represent these qualities, paired with inspirational quotes, this book encourages us to contemplate our relationship with something greater than ourselves.
A handy discussion guide is included that provides an interpretive starting point for classrooms, book clubs, nature walks, or family outings.
