Summary:

"What exactly is a forest? Is it just a group of trees? Or is something greater hidden among all those mysterious roots and branches? The lives of trees are truly remarkable ... At first sight, it might seem like the relationships between the inhabitants of the forest (trees, ants, birds, fungi, and others) are all tangled up, but when we take a closer look, we can see that they live together in an invisible harmony... Join our guide - the intrepid, curious Little Seed - as we climb into the branches and peer under the roots to learn the mysterious language of the forest." -- Back cover.
