Kuvittele maailma ilman puita. Maailma, jossa vehreät latvukset, puissa kiipeily ja lehtien havina ovat vain kaukaisia muistoja. Eräänä päivänä joku kuitenkin uskaltaa seurata mielikuvitustaan. Nuori Tuisku pääsee uskomattomalle matkalle puiden valtakuntaan, joka muistuttaa luonnon valtavasta voimasta ja kauneudesta. Hän löytää muutoksen siemenen, josta voi kasvaa jotain uutta. Viimeinen puu näyttää vaikuttavasti, miten hauras ja suurenmoinen maailmamme on. Kirjan yksityiskohtaisissa ja elävissä viivapiirroksissa voi aistia luonnon taianomaisuuden. Runollisen kaunis kuvitettu satu on lahja kaikille, jotka uskaltavat nähdä maailmassa hyvän.

From the author of Together. Imagine a world without trees. A world that is in many ways like our world, but where magnificent canopies, tree climbing and leaves rustling in the breeze are now only distant memories. Until a young girl comes along, a girl who is brave and spirited and willing to follow where her imagination takes her. Through Olive's adventures in the world of trees we are reminded of nature's extraordinary power and beauty, and her actions ultimately sow the seeds of new life in her own world. From the mind and pen of bestselling author Luke Adam Hawker, The Last Tree is a powerful evocation of the fragility of our natural world and a magnificent celebration of its beauty. Praise for Together:"An accurate and thoughtful account of one of the most challenging years in modern history." - The Guardian"Hawker's images always seem to have just the right mixture of gravitas and sly, understated humour." - The Scotsman

'Dark clouds were looming in the distance. We watched them gather, and we wondered... When will it come? How long will it last?' A monumental storm brings huge and sudden change. We follow a man and his dog through the uncertainty that it brings to their lives. Through their eyes, we see the difficulties of being apart, the rollercoaster of emotions that we can all relate to, and the realisation that by pulling together we can move through difficult times with new perspective, hope and an appreciation of what matters most in life. Luke has dedicated the book to his late grandfather, who was a key figure in his life. The main characters are based on his grandfather and his own dog, Robin, who offers a reassuring guide through the challenges of the storm. It's a story with very personal emotion, but one that speaks to us all.'Though clouds may gather again, and we may see other storms, we have realised most of all that we are stronger facing them... Together.'
