My Heart Was a Tree

It's a golden combination: poems and stories by Michael Morpurgo, the doyen of English children's books, and illustrations by Yuval Zommer, the illustrator who needs no introduction.From an old olive tree that remembers Odysseus to a tiny sapling carried by a refugee: each story or poem is a love letter to the power of trees and forests.A beautiful gift bundle for anyone you want to give something wonderful, including yourself. A treasure to pick up again and again in a brilliant translation by Margaretha van Andel, the author of Verhalen van de Fladdertak.A book that should not be missing from the shelf of any nature lover, story devourer, or poetry enjoyer.
