Introducing "Oh Dear Tree"
Tree loved his little world. Everything was perfect, from his coat of green leaves to the wonderful butterflies, bees and wildflowers around him. Then one day things started to change. The wonders of summer turned to the beginnings of autumn. Join Tree as he explores the seasonal changes in the woodland and discover what a wonderful world we live in.
This book is a reminder for all readers that change isn't something to fear - it's the very thing that helps us grow.
Children will relate easily to Tree's character, empathising with his feelings throughout the story which in turn supports their own emotional development.
