Picture a Tree - NEW!!
Written and Illustrated by Barbara Reid
Picture a tree - what do you see?
From bare branches tracing the sky to an explosion of colour, a place for adventure or a friend to shelter us from the sun-a tree can be so many things. With lyrical text and her signature Plasticine magic, Barbara Reid captures these majestic beings: in every season, growing and changing, interacting with the people and animals around them.
