What Do You See When You Look at a Tree?

Emma Carlisle's book earns every comparison to E.H. Shepard — the watercolors invite children to slow down and look, which is itself a rare gift. The Waterstones Children's Prize shortlisting and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew association give it both critical and institutional credibility. This is a picture book that works as a mindfulness practice, a nature introduction, and a piece of art all at once.
