Pando A Living Wonder of Trees by Kate Allen Fox Capstone This is a delightful and peaceful book to read! Not only is it very informative, it made me feel closer to nature without going anywhere! The author gently guides the reader through the Aspen forest of Utah. Explains, and shows, how they are like one big organism. The tree roots are all locked and tangled together. The leaves shudder and whisper in the wind. The art is tranquil and serene. It matches the books sober vibe and hope, peace, and joy flow from the pages. It's a soothing book and just as importantly, it can pass vital knowledge along. What better way than with beautiful words and lovely images? I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this book. no reviews | add a review
