About
Little Tree and the Wood Wide Web is a children’s picture book that explores how trees communicate and support each other through complex underground fungal networks known as the “wood wide web.”
When a young fir sapling struggles for light and water, her distress travels through this hidden system, leading other trees to help her. As seasons change and a friendly paper birch needs help in return, the sapling discovers the strength of community, cooperation, and caring across species. Through engaging narrative and illustrations, this book introduces young readers to contemporary ecological science and the idea that no one is truly alone in nature.
“This informative picture book is about a lonely fir tree sapling, whose worries reach other trees via the ‘wood wide web,’ i.e., the underground networks of fungal threads.” — The Bookseller, Children’s Previews
