MOTHER ASPEN

 

​

​

This beautiful book tells the life story of a tree, an aspen grove, as it ages and changes through the seasons. Mother Aspen: A Story of How Forests Cooperate and Communicate, explores the relationships throughout the forest community as the tree and fungi communicate and work together with animals and the forest’s many resources.

With lyrical rhythm, the book explores the concept of Mother Tree and her sprouted children, the other trees. Together the trees adapt to raindrops, hot sun, wind and other natural elements as they listen to the messages sent from tree to tree throughout the forest.

With intricate illustrations, this book explores the circle of life, and the value older species bring to an ecosystem both below and above ground. The depth of the colours on each page demonstrates the layers of the forest. Mother Aspen is a perfect blend of poetry, history and science. A great book for outdoor schools or any nature-lover.

Best Blurb: 

By late spring, Mother Aspen has unfurled all of her leaves.
The slightest breeze sets them aflutter,
Then her lullaby begins - a soft shush-shush-shushing
