The Tomorrow Tree: How Nature Creates New Life From Old

by Maciej Michno, Danio Miserocchi, Valentina Gottardi (Designed by)

Overview

A lyrical celebration of the amazing new ecosystem that flourishes after a tree falls

For the forest, the death of a tree is not a loss but a new beginning. In this unique exploration of nature’s circle of life, young readers can discover how a tree finds fresh purpose after its life ends. Fallen trees provide food and shelter for living things large and small – from insects, fungi, and flowers to mice and bear cubs.

This thoughtful book introduces children to these ecosystems, inviting them to consider life cycles, biodiversity, sustainability, and the environment. With its lush illustrations and informative text, The Tomorrow Tree is a stunning keepsake gift for budding naturalists.
