Description
This beautifully illustrated non-fiction picture book tells the story of an oak tree on a hilltop that has witnessed centuries of change. From the time of hunters chasing deer through the woodland, to the clearing of trees for farmland and the emergence of factories during the industrial revolution, one majestic oak has seen it all.
Alongside the poem, the book includes a timeline of world history across these periods, the life cycle of an oak tree, and prompts to help parents and children explore their own local history. A portion of the book's proceeds supports the work of the National Forest.
