This book introduces children to the 'lungs of the planet.' Providing shade in summer, blooming in spring, and incredibly beautiful in autumn, trees are ubiquitous in human life, producing oxygen and providing shelter for birds, insects, and animals. From poems by renowned children's writer and poet Natalia Volkova, children will learn about the characteristics and properties of the ten most common trees in the country. A sun-warmed cypress, an old oak, a handsome maple, and a fragrant acacia are revealed in all their glory in the drawings of 'Image of the Book' award winner Daria Beklemesheva.
