Books with title The Big Tree

Jenny Sadler is on a trip with her father to the planet Tanin, where he would like to learn more about a scroll he received whose makers seem to have technology and materials far more advanced than anything at the Silas P. Sadler Research Institute has ever seen. While her father becomes almost consumed with his pursuit of the culture that created the artifact, Jenny befriends Eli (an orphan and one of the only children born on Tanin), who happens to be the discoverer of the scroll and their hired guide to the site of his find. As Jenny, her father and Eli explore deeper into the ruins of what appears to be an ancient civilization, the finds they make may not be the ones they were looking for.

"For eight hundred years I have lived here, through the wind, the fire and the snow." This powerful song of an ancient Douglas fir celebrates the age-old cycle of life in the Pacific Rainforest, revealing the interconnectedness of all things. From the gentle whisper of owls' wings to the haunting echo of a lone wolf's cry, each scene resonates with the beauty and sacredness of nature. But when bulldozers invade the forest, the tree senses its impending destruction and asks: "Who will house the owl? And who will hold that river's shore? And who will take refuge in my shadow, if my shadow falls no more?"This stunningly-illustrated book sounds an urgent call to preserve our fragile environment reminding each of us that the hope for a brighter future lies in our own hands. "The Tree should be on every child's bookshelf. The illustrations are hauntingly beautiful. The message is powerful: we must take peaceful action to save what we love." -Dr. Jane Goodall
