A great gift to time-travel with trees

This Christmas, treat little ones to a delightful new children's book, The Thousand Year Tree. This book takes readers on an incredible journey through time, from seed to giant tree. Step inside the fascinating world of ancient trees to discover the wonders these age-old giants have witnessed and learn how we can protect them for years to come.

Created by ÄûÃʵ¼°¹-based author Lucy Reynolds and illustrator Katie Hickey, along with children from Weyfield Primary Academy in Guildford, this stunning book celebrates ancient trees and how children can help protect them.

Retailing at £8.99, the book is available to and at all good booksellers. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to charity.
