Meet Peter Wohlleben - but you can call him Peter the Forester!

Now, Peter shares his famous imagination and storytelling style with children, asking surprising questions about trees with exciting quizzes, photographs, and hands-on activities to help even the most reluctant learners discover the answers.

Can You Hear the Trees Talking? shares the mysteries and magic of the forest in language kids will love and understand.
