Living Towers - The Science of Trees #912522

From the tallest redwood to the smallest sapling in a sidewalk crack, trees are living worlds of mystery, cooperation, and survival. They breathe life into our planet, shelter countless animals, and even communicate in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. Every branch, root, and leaf has a purpose, and every tree—from a city street maple to an ancient rainforest giant—has a story worth knowing.

This book takes curious young readers deep into that hidden world. They’ll discover how trees work together through underground networks, how they warn each other about danger, and how they adapt to survive in deserts, mountains, and frozen forests. They’ll learn about the animals that depend on them, the people who have dedicated their lives to protecting them, and the ways anyone—no matter their age—can help trees thrive in their own community.

Packed with fascinating facts, real-life stories, and thought-provoking ideas, this journey will change the way kids see every tree they pass. Whether it’s in the schoolyard, along a hiking trail, or in their own backyard, they’ll start to notice the clues, connections, and quiet wonders trees share every day. By the last page, readers will understand that protecting trees means protecting the future.
