Reviews

“I highly recommend Tree Day: A Story of 24 Hours and 24 Arboreal Lives. It is not just a book filled with scientific facts. It is also a book, written in Meg Lowman’s engaging story telling style, which reveals her love (which I share) of trees as living beings. It will help all who read it to understand the important role trees play in our lives and the life of our planet. Congratulations, Canopy Meg.” * Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and United Nations Messenger of Peace * “‘Canopy’ Meg Lowman is rightly famous for introducing thousands of people to the forest from high in the branches. Now she reveals trees through the hours of the day. With illustrations by Thibaud Hérem, this fine book should belong to anyone who loves nature—as well as those who don’t yet.” * Richard Louv, author of ""Last Child in the Woods"" and ""The Nature Principle"" * “Most charming of all is Lowman’s joy and wonder at the natural world . . . By the time you reach the last page of this book, you’ll either want to climb a tree, hug a tree or both.” -- Praise for Lowman's ""The Arbornaut"" * San Francisco Chronicle *
