Reviews

Incredible trees, incredible graphics. ... This is a book where you will become engrossed in stories, facts and a future.--Sue Martin, The Book Monitor
This book is utterly enchanting. It's somewhat unusual to find a children's book with a foreword from the best-known primatologist in the world, Dr Jane Goodall, but I can see why she lent her name to this collection of true stories about environmental change-makers.

Severgnini has an eye for detail and a wide range of abilities, which see her illustrations go from Brian Lovelock levels of technical detail, to exquisite biological sketches of chimp hands, fruit, and insects.--Sarah Forster, The Sapling
Tree Beings is heaven for lovers of nature and books.--@iwona_and_emily
