About the Book

We the Forest aims to 'rewild the imagination' by opening children's eyes afresh to the wonder of forests through a meld of science and contemporary artwork. New scientific discoveries show that the interconnectedness of the forest runs deeper than we ever imagined. This title explores how all life in the forest is linked and our own human connection to and dependence on the forest. Engaging text evokes the magic of forests – from how trees communicate to their superpowers of regeneration and protection of the planet – accompanied by commissioned illustrations. Interspersed throughout are arresting artworks inspired by forests from a wide variety of contemporary artists: learn to speak in 'tree' with Katie Holten's tree alphabet, peer through Levon Biss's lens to see what a giant beetle would look like, or witness the terrible beauty of forest fires in Jeff Frost's photos. Interactive elements encourage the reader in their own creative projects.
