A story of love and light, death and sadness. Follow the journey of one maple tree as it grows to understand its own life and the lives of those around it. It Takes a Forest (To Raise a Tree) is an inspiring read for all ages.

Wow! A tree hugger’s delight. This story really spoke to me, much like Jonathan Livingston Seagull did, so many years ago… P.D.Goddard, Book Lover

A delightful glimpse into the lifetime of a single tree, which reminds us how interdependent we all are, with each other and with nature. Peter James, Nature Photographer

I just got done reading It Takes a Forest and I’m at a loss for words. I love the themes that it relays from the perspective of this wise, young maple. I connected with it on a level I never expected myself to. I was interested and caught at the premise, but the substance seemed to fill my soul. Simply stunning. I feel like my vision is a bit clearer looking through the mind of a tree. Jaxon Anderson, Poet
