A moving story with an ecological slant, The One Tree will appeal to children aged around 5-9. Illustrated in the manga style, it tells the tale of how the One Tree is befriended by a boy, of its destruction and eventual renewal. Conveying a timeless sense of nature and our part within it rather than above it, The One Tree encourages us all to treat our mother Earth with the love and respect she deserves.
