Tree Spirits Around the World

 If you are looking for a wonderful book to read with a child, this is the perfect selection.  Tree Spirits Around the World written and photographed by Louise Wannier is an extremely unique and creative concept for a book that will fascinate both adults and children.

As a grandmother (Safta) Wannier created a magical book that explores photographs of trees and encourages the reader to use their imagination to see different animals in the photographs.

To help the reader, illustrator, April Tatiana Jackson has used her imagination to create beautiful drawings of animals that could be in each of the plants.  Using an overlay with the animal drawings layered over each tree we can see the tree come to life.

The photographs in this book were taken in various countries of plants native to that country. The animals are also native to the country.  

The book is beautifully composed and the idea is very unique. I will go back and find the first book, Tree Spirits.
