An enchanting, fact-filled picture book for children aged 4-8 celebrating 12 of the world's national trees, including a global map of their location. Discover how local people use each of the trees, their historical significance, the unique creatures that live in and around them and why they are so beloved. Get to know the tremendous trees that shape our world! Meet 12 national trees and uncover WILD facts, ANCIENT legends, and the INCREDIBLE creatures hidden in their leaves! Travel the world and find out how each country honors, protects, and proudly celebrates their national tree- QUINA (Peru & Ecuador) - Did you know that its bark has saved MILLIONS of people from dying of malaria? OAK (USA, England & Ireland) - Did you know that this tree is the one most often struck by lightning? No wonder it's linked to Zeus and his thunderbolts! OLIVE (Albania) - Did you know that this ancient tree makes shiny "liquid gold" that's tasty AND healing? (It's olive oil and people have used it for over 6,000 years!) Each of these trees have superpowers, secrets, and stories to tell. All are rooted in wonder and waiting to be discovered.
