What is Only a Tree Knows how to be a Tree about?
A tree knows how to be a tree, with roots in the earth and branches reaching for the sky. Birds know how to build nests, dogs know how to be dogs, and fish know how to swim. Every living thing has its own special way of being, while also belonging to the wider world. Through gentle words and bright, welcoming illustrations, this thoughtful picture book celebrates nature, individuality and connection, reminding children that only they know how to be themselves.
