Part botany, part history, part cultural anthropology--the illustrated nonfiction picture book Trees goes beyond the basics to tell readers everything they might want to know about this particular branch of the plant kingdom.

Trees explores the important roles trees play in our ecosystem, takes an up-close-and-personal look at the parts of trees (from roots to leaves), and unpacks the cultural impact of trees from classification systems (like family trees) to art forms (like bonsai trees). Looking forward, Trees also addresses the deforestation crisis.

Heavily illustrated by Wojciech Grajkowski in the same style as Piotr Socha's Bees: A Honeyed History, Trees: A Rooted History serves as a beautifully packaged celebration of trees of all kinds.

This expansive volume takes a holistic approach to the topic of trees in nature, history, and the imagination . . . Through the multi-angled perspective, Socha and Grajkowski subtly allude to the way that branches of knowledge cross-pollinate and interconnect. --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
