This
book is an absolute graphic delight. Matt Ottley is a master of colour and
perspective. I delighted in the range and depth of images presented throughout.
The
story is simple yet powerful. It tells of a sapling that grows under the
shelter of an older tree, within a forest of trees. Time passes and a storm
changes everything. The tree must then stand a lone through the clean up, the
growing urbanisation of its environment, changes in use and then happily
becoming just one in a park. In the end tree is offering shelter to a new
sapling.
Overall
it’s a gentle visually pleasing book which speaks to the environment and
resilience. I highly recommend it.
