Throughout history, trees were believed to be home to fairies, demons, dragons, dwarfs, spirits, and ancestors.…Hollow trees have been used as chapels, post offices, saloons, and homes. Treetops have held orchestras, dining rooms, and party houses….Each tree has a story to tell.
CelebriTrees presents fourteen extraordinary and beloved trees around the world (half are in the United States) that "fire the imagination and inspire wonder and awe." From Methuselah, a 4,800-year-old bristlecone pine in Inyo National Forest, California, to a Bodhi Tree in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, which descended from the tree under which Buddha is said to have achieved enlightenment, all these arboreal wonders are special and fascinating. Rebecca Gibbon's delightful illustrations add lots of charming fun to the enchantment. For ages 4 to 8.
