Come along with Peter the Forester on a journey through the forest, and you'll never look at a tree the same way again! Did you know that trees have parents, and that tree grandparents have wrinkles? Or that tree children go to school for hundreds of years? Would you believe there's such a thing as the forest internet, and that trees use it to talk to each other?
In this book, you'll meet big trees and tiny ones, brave trees and fearful ones, tree best friends and trees that like to be alone. You'll find out why trees sweat in the summer, and how they know when to drop their leaves in fall. And you'll meet some of the many creatures who live in the forest - from animal detectives to high-rise construction workers.
In his internationally bestselling book The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben captivated millions of readers with the groundbreaking science of how trees feel and communicate. Now, Peter shares his knowledge with young readers, with playful questions, fun quizzes, and hands-on activities to stimulate their imaginations and help them discover the wonders of the forest. The magic of trees is everywhere around us. All we need to do is look - and listen.
"Children were talking with trees for centuries before scientists proved that trees communicate. What better guide to kids' conversation with our leafy neighbors than Peter Wohlleben, who revealed to adults the hidden lives of trees? This splendid book is bursting with exciting science. Better yet, Can You Hear the Trees Talking? fosters reverence and wonder for a forest far more magical than even fairy tales claim." - Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author and recipient of the Sibert Medal
