Tree Day

“I highly recommend Tree Day: A Story of 24 Hours and 24 Arboreal Lives. It is not just a book filled with scientific facts. It is also a book written in Meg Lowman’s engaging story telling style, which reveals her love (which I share) of trees as living beings. It will help all who read it understand the important role trees play in our lives and the life of our planet. Congratulations, CanopyMeg.” * Jane Goodall *“Tree Day is an adventurous story of trees and their importance for everyone’s health and well-being! It’s a must-read for all ages.” * Tommy Hilfiger *“‘CanopyMeg’ Lowman is rightly famous for introducing thousands of people to the forest from high in the branches. Now she reveals trees through the hours of the day. With illustrations by Thibaud Hérem, this fine book should belong to anyone who loves nature—as well as those who don’t yet.” * Richard Louv, author of “Last Child in the Woods” and “The Nature Principle” *“Lowman’s Tree Day is a beautiful book in every sense. She chooses twenty-four of the world’s most interesting trees and describes each with loving intimacy and wonder. Lowman is a climber who has ascended many of these trees using special equipment, so she knows them in a way almost no humans do. The illustrations by Thibaud Hérem perfectly illuminate the text. Tree Day is a lovely book to hold in one’s hands and read.” * Richard Preston, author of “The Wild Trees” and “The Hot Zone” *“If a tree was once understood as a mostly static living object, here we see it rippling with change.” – Praise for Lowman’s “The Arbornaut” * Rebecca Giggs, The Atlantic *“An extraordinary life, one spent among trees.” – Praise for Lowman’s “The Arbornaut” * Sophie Cunningham, The Guardian *“Most charming of all is Lowman’s joy and wonder at the natural world… . By the time you reach the last page of this book, you’ll either want to climb a tree, hug a tree, or both.” – Praise for Lowman’s “The Arbornaut” * Rachel Zarrow, San Francisco Chronicle *“Solid science combined with a pleasing writing style make for a winning book.” – Praise for Lowman’s “The Arbornaut” * Kirkus (starred review) *“Lowman shines in her ability to combine accessible science with exciting personal anecdotes that effectively convey the ‘thrill of aerial exploration’ and bolster her case that trees―and sustainable ecosystems―are worth studying, protecting, and preserving. Nature lovers will find much to consider.” – Praise for Lowman’s “The Arbornaut” * Publishers Weekly *
