"This extraordinary book captures the absolute magic of trees! It is a joy to read, and the fabulous drawings offer many carefully observed details and reflect a true love of trees. It all adds up to a masterpiece, the kind of book you save for many generations."
—Holly H. Shimizu, executive director, United States Botanic Garden
