What Did the Tree See?

Witness centuries of change through ancient eyes in What Did the Tree See?, the enchanting hardcover non-fiction picture book by Charlotte Guillain, beautifully illustrated by Sam Usher. Published by Welbeck Children's on February 18, 2021, this 32-page gem (ISBN 9781913519018) follows a majestic oak tree on a hilltop as it observes human history unfold—from medieval hunters chasing deer, to forests cleared for farmland, the smoky Industrial Revolution, and modern cities rising below. Gentle rhyming verse pairs with detailed watercolour illustrations to spark wonder, ending on a hopeful note with a new acorn for the future.
