The Witness Trees: Historic Moments and the Trees Who Watched Them Happen (Includes a map to over 20 trees you can visit today)
Ryan G. Van Cleave, illustrated by Đố m Đố m
The Witness Trees presents trees as observers of important moments in history. Its text uses verse to speak in a collective tree voice, describing wind moving over grass, rivers, bark, green leaves, stars, earth, gardens, and lives that are born, bloom, and are plucked. The trees describe themselves as survivors that remember and bear witness. The book frames their long lives alongside the history they have silently seen.
