A breathtaking journey through time as seen by one magnificent oak tree.
Told in lyrical rhyming verse, What Did the Tree See offers young readers a unique perspective on history, nature, and the passage of time. From ancient woodlands to modern cities, this beautifully illustrated non-fiction picture book follows the life of a single oak tree as it quietly observes the changing world around it.
Children will witness hunters roaming forests, fields being ploughed, factories rising, and people growing and changing — all through the eyes of a tree that has stood the test of time. Sam Usher’s rich, expressive artwork complements Charlotte Guillain’s evocative storytelling, while educational endnotes include a historical timeline, the oak tree’s life cycle, and activities to help families explore their own local history.
A perfect blend of poetry, history, and environmental education — and a gentle reminder of the world that trees silently witness.
