Description

See below for English description.

L'arbre nous abrite, nous offre son ombre; ses couleurs nous calment ou nous stimulent. Il peut se transformer en bateau pirate, en repaire secret, ou en tunnel. Il nous rappelle notre famille et évoque la croissance, le changement, le début et la fin.

Plus qu'un album sur les arbres, Imagine un arbre est un éloge à l'imagination.

 

Picture a tree — from every season, from every angle — and then, look again!

A tree gives shade and shelter; its colours excite and soothe us. It can be a pirate ship, a bear cave, a clubhouse, a friend; an ocean, a tunnel, a high rise home sweet home. It evokes family, growth, changes, endings and new beginnings.

Imagine un arbre is about a lot of things — it's about trees, of course: their environment, their life cycles, how humans and other creatures interact with them. But it's also about learning to find different ways of looking at things; about imagination; about growing.

Original title: Picture a Tree
