With lush illustrations, poems, and accessible scientific information, The Wisdom of Trees by Lita Judge is a fascinating exploration of the hidden communities trees create to strengthen themselves and others. We clean the air and seed the clouds, we drench the thirsty land with rain. We are like wizards. The story of a tree is a story of community, communication, and cooperation. Although trees may seem like silent, independent organisms, they form a network buzzing with life: they talk, share food, raise their young, and offer protection. Trees thrive on diversity, learn from their ancestors, and give back to their communities. Trees not only sustain life on our planet—they can also teach us important lessons about patience, survival, and teamwork.

Twelve lessons that trees can teach us to achieve inner calm, with mindfulness and journaling exercises. Forest bathing, tree hugging, 'earthing' and nature retreats--more and more, we are craving a return to nature, to peace, and simplicity. This book shows the way. When international opera tenor and forester Vincent Karche lost his voice, he was instructed by a shamanic healer that, to regain it, he would have to find himself again first. Thus began a journey into the heart of the forest. In this book, Vincent mirrors the cyclical nature of the seasons to help us reconnect to our natural rhythm, find inner peace, and activate physical and emotional healing. Just as a tree anchors its roots into the earth to weather storms, so too can we learn to cultivate resilience; to find instant relief from stress, we need only breathe slowly in and out as a tree would; and we can forge stronger relationships by encouraging symbiotic links with all beings, giving and taking only what we need as trees and plants do. In this poetic exploration of the unbreakable bond between nature and human, Vincent reminds us that we are both the forest and the tree: each unique in our being and yet part of a Divine natural creation.

"A Tree's Wisdom" is a fictional children's story. Created to bring the attention to the need for tree's and plant's (as in climate change). Also, to help aid Parent's and Teacher's to address some issues on morals and, some of life's events. The mostly used moral is, "You made your bed; You lie in it". It's a fun story of a journey with 6 seedlings that lived deep in the forest. The Elder trees told stories of past events and, gave advice on how to grow. One of the stories that caught the attention of the 6 seedlings (whom became friends) was a story about how humans came to the clearing in the forest. They started a fire (that kept the trees warm for a moment during the winter), sang songs (that had good vibrations) and, had fun playing in the snow. It became the seedlings favorite story. As well as the reason why the seedlings decided to go on a journey from the forest to go live near or, around humans. But, they had to hold on to their parent tree all summer until the Great Autumn storms came. Because the storms during autumn have the best high winds for long distance travel. And that is where the journey begins. I hope you enjoy my illustrations and a poem at the end of the story. Please respect, care for and, love the Earth. It is OUR home. Thank You!
