The Tree of a Thousand Seasons.

Content : It all begins with a seed, a child, and a silent promise. Garance grows fond of the tree planted by her great-grandfather when he was just a boy. The tree becomes, in turn, her refuge, her playground for adventures, her confidant.

Page by page, we watch it grow—stretching its branches, welcoming birds and butterflies, bearing cherries in summer, golden leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. And as the tree grows, generations come and go around it—until the day when, over a hundred years later, an old man proudly gazes at the great tree he planted as a child.

A story about the passage of time, the sharing of life, and the beauty of the living world—told with a poetry that touches both children and the adults reading to them.

Key points:
- Handcrafted Screen-Printed Illustrations: Two bold colours—teal blue and ochre gold—create clean blocks, contemporary graphic effects, and a rare visual depth. Each illustration is unique in its finish, like a small artist’s poster.
- Awakening to biodiversity and ecology: Without ever being preachy, the book invites children to observe and marvel: tits, ants, butterflies, fallen leaves, blossoms… An introduction to nature in all its poetic beauty.
- An intergenerational and universal tale: From childhood to old age, the tree is always there. This gentle and profound sense of time reflects values of passing things on, family memory, and connection to nature—values that many parents hope to share with their children.
