What is The tree and the river about?
Beside a winding river, a lone tree watches a world take shape. Over generations, people build homes, cities and remarkable machines, using the river’s power and changing the land around it. Their inventions bring progress, but also pollution, destruction and loss. Told entirely through detailed illustrations, this sweeping wordless story follows the changing relationship between humanity and nature. As the river continues to flow and the tree endures, readers are invited to notice patterns, imagine stories and consider how the future might be shaped.
