Praise for Listen to the Language of the Trees

“If you know about the “Wood Wide Web,” then you know that trees communicate through the fungi that connect their roots. Still, did you know about how they support one another with extra food? How they can tell their offspring apart from other trees?…Consider this the preeminent book for kids on the topic…” – NPR Books We Love 2022

“Smart, concise explanations of a tricky topic leave readers only wanting to learn more.” – Starred Review, Kirkus

“There’s a gold mine of information in the back matter…” – Starred Review, Booklist

Tera Kelley grew up reading among the towering Douglas firs and pungent cedars of the Pacific Northwest. As a children’s bookseller for six years, she watched kids race, skip, and crawl in the direction of the children’s book section with the same eagerness she felt at that age. She is the author of Listen to the Language of the Trees, a NPR 2022 Books We Love selection.
