Sylvan Song

If you close your eyes and press your ear against the bark of a tree, maybe, just maybe, you will hear it speak.

​

Noticing struggling plant life, young biologist Molly is inspired to improve the polluted concrete cityscape. She is captivated by the interconnected ecosystem of the forest, and she’s not the only one. With the help of some new friends, Molly makes a plan to bring life into the city by planting a native garden on an abandoned railway.

The immersive poetic writing and detailed illustrations invite the reader in to listen to the song of the trees. Sylvan Song captures the beauty of Tasmanian flora with loving attention to detail and careful research of sustainable naturalistic garden design.
