A momentous, inspiring and unforgettable story from Kes Gray and Jim Field with an urgent message about deforestation.

I saw a tree. The tree saw me.

The tree raised me.
The tree raised me.

This is the story of one girl's attempt to save her beloved tree from deforestation.

Heartbreaking and inspiring in equal measure, this is a picture book like no other. With peep-through pages and breathtaking artwork, this magnificent collaboration is a call to action for humanity to protect and save our trees: for today, tomorrow and eternity.
