‘Exquisite … vivid … each page feels alive’ Observer. Nominated for the 2021 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, The Song of the Tree is a lyrical and enchanting picture book from award-winning designer Coralie Bickford-Smith. Bird loves nothing more than to sing in the towering tree at the heart of the jungle — it is her home, her anchor, her world. But when the season turns, she must say goodbye, and she is not ready to let go. As Bird journeys through vibrant woodlands and magical night-time skies alongside her animal friends, the story of the tree slowly unfolds, weaving a tale about belonging, community, and the deep ties that bind us to the natural world. Beautifully illustrated and lovingly told, this is a book that speaks to readers of all ages. ‘Heart-warming … a celebration of the world around us at a time when we need it the most’ Creative Review ‘Wonderful, poetic … a beautiful telling of a universal theme’ Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading
