12 portraits of trees to awaken curiosity and the desire to play outdoors.
To know and love the green world of plants around us.
To be lulled to the rhythm of short poetic texts and contemplate images rich with colours and details to be discovered!

The cherry tree, with delicious fruits, attracts children and little birds.
The linden with its scent makes bees and more fall in love.
The beech has a thick and unkempt foliage, which changes colour a thousand times.

• A picture book written by Valentina Levrini, illustrated by the unmistakable hand of Irene Penazzi.
