Seven hours and seven trees and seven stories to tell...
Olive's best friend is an oak tree, and it is in danger. As she tumbles into its magic world, she makes it a promise. From deep roots to high branches, a Persian garden to an underwater forest, from tulip trees to wild apples to vengeful box, she listens as trees tell her stories for all time - and she keeps her promise.
Including science pages interspersed between the stories, with glorious illustrations throughout by talented artist Lyda Corry, this is a perfect gift for every curious and nature-loving child!
