I Hear the Trees - Hardcover

by Zaro Weil (Author), Junli Song (Illustrator)

Journey into the wild world of Mother Earth in this enchanting poetry collection. Sigh as a mother wolf teaches her cub how to howl. Laugh with bamboozled berries and a ruby-wonderful beet. Feel the thrill of Tyranno's terrifying tale and play with ten on-the-run haiku mice.

Your imagination will soar as a hullabaloo of creatures and plants, moon, sun and stars make their way word by word and picture by fantastical picture into your heart.
