Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Songs of the Trees: Pictures, Rhymes and Tree Biographies
Out in the forest, among the trees, lives a family named evergreen.
There are big evergreens and little evergreens, and they have big and little relatives over the sea.
Every name has a meaning, and this family got its lovely name because of a lovely habit it has; that is, both big evergreens and little evergreens never lose their leaves in the winter, but stand waving their green arms and offering shelter to birds and wild animals when winds blow cold and snow piles high. In winter as well as summer they are ever green.
Now just as we have brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and cousins; so this evergreen family is divided into a great many relatives.
